The first one is a small milk or cream jar, probably half pint based on the size. I can't quite read the embossing on the bottom of the small jar, but without knowing it I'd guess some kind of food jar. The same is true of the last two - the second to last looks like a coffee jar or something similar, while the last one is a zinc-capped Ball food jar that could've held anything from baby food to pickles.

Looks like all fairly common stuff. Probably 1930s at the very oldest. These for the most part are very generic. Interesting to see a cream with a lug screw top but still little value. I use these to store small finds like marbles.

I don't think the lug screw jar is a cream. I think it's a mustard or something along those lines. It wouldn't have made sense for a dairy in those days to spend so much on a new solid metal cap each time when cardboard or aluminum foil was enough.
