These aren't traditional "milk" bottles, but are rather common malted milk powder bottles, which held a product suitable for children or invalids or people generally looking for a tasty beverage. It seems that at least one is a hand-blown and ground-lip jar, you can tell by the rough sandblasted looking ground top, most look machine-made. Back 15-20 years ago they fetched a little more money to older people with memories of the products, but nowadays most of those buyers are no longer with us and the pieces won't fetch much without the steel/"tin" lid. They are attractive, but I wouldn't expect to get more than 10-15 for the lot on eBay. The first bottle pictures is the most recent, and i dig them in 1920s-30s dumps. Others are 1910s. The big gallon size ones are worth a slight bit more but still not special without the lids.

Best to sell them at flea markets/garage sales.
