WYETH & BRO PHILAD'A Bottle with another unknown brown bottle (help please)

I'm going to put a load of pix in here, any help with ID, value, or age would be greatly appreciated. Clear bottle has raised letters that say "WYETH & BRO PHILAD'A" Brown Bottle has raised letters that say "Federal law forbids sale or re-use of this bottle"
Thanks, Brad

I believe that the brown one is probably a type of alcoholic beverage.

And, I am not really good on dates, but maybe 1954 on the brown one?

I thought I was right, its just hard for me to tell dates sometimes. I would say just by the look of the clear bottle it is from the 20s.

Just noticed while I was looking for seam marks that this bottle has pontil marks on the bottom? What do you think now guys?

Hmm does the seem go all the way to the lip. I don't think this is a pontil scar. I'm starting to think this bottle is more turn of the century. But hopefully one of the gurus will chime in. Surf or epackage where are you guys?

I am pretty sure Wyeth Bro's sold alcohol. I would say strap side whiskey. Looks 1900's, possibly earlier. Nice find! That's my guess.

The Wyeth is 1920ish and all the ones I've seen with original labels held Beef Juice, the other is a paper label whiskey, it could be from 1935-64....
