I am guessing these bottles were replaced with new contents and even possibly new labels but some insight in to whether they are or not would be helpful. Thanks for looking.

From the pictures I cannot determine any closer than Mid 20th century: I.E. 1930 - 1960. The vintage packaging and metal screw caps are the give away to me. Obviously, I am not the last word on these but that is my impression. That may seem old to some but for someone my age, 74, and someone who prefers "old" stuff (+ 120 years), it's not that old. No offense meant, just trying to put things in perspective.

I believe the Kilmers is about 1940 to 1945. the Omega oil is about 19 50 or so, I remember both in drug stores the bottles are from Owens Illinois glass co, and could have been made in any of there many plants about the country, the numbers on the bottom would tell ya where ifn ya knew the codes.......
