j. r. watkins bottle

[antlerman23]

i have a rectangular glass bottle that is 8.25'' tall, has "J.R. Watkins Co.(in fancy cursive) REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." embossed on the front and has the diamond I makers mark from the illinois bottle company on the bottom. I also have a large half gallon bottle that i cannot discribe, but it is in the pictures below. How old are these and are they worth anything? Any help is appreciated.
