Welcome to antique-bottles!
The easy way to find the market value is to search the Ebay. When you see the winning bid then you know how much somebody is willing to pay for a bottle similar with yours, regardless of the catalog value, if any.

Misty,

From the dates you give (and without actualy seing them ) my guess would be that these are pretty common liquor bottles and syrup bottles. The dates alone would make me venture and guess of $.50-$1.00 ea. Ya never know though what someone is willing to pay for them.

Good luck and post a pic or 2 if you have the chance.
