For the most part it appears to be early to mid 20th century stuff.
It can be tough to sell this type of glass on ebay. Sometimes the cobalt blue stuff will sell especially in a group. You might do better with craigs list or yard sale.
Looks like a couple hutch sodas in the first bin?
May be worth showing a better photo of those. Are they embossed?
Interesting lamp base?? in the last photo.

Gunther,
thanks for the info. yes those are hutch sodas and are embossed i will get a picture of them. However one of them is missing a chunk out of it's bottom. the thing that looks like a lamp base is actually a lid of a candy dish or something.

You may want start by weeding out all the clear unembossed slick bottles and clear screw top bottles. Then place them in the recycle bin.

Pic 5 on the right are 2 Michelob bottles. I'm not a beer collector but they still use that shape bottle. So I don't know how old they are or how long ago they started using that design. But they could be fairly "new" Only embossing would tell that I know of.
