Need bottle help - Old Henry & green ?

I was out in the woods at the plantation house I detect at and spotted these two (plus others) on the surface under some leaves. I cleaned them up a bit and was hoping some of you could tell me a bit about them.
Here's all I know:

Clear bottle is 11" tall and has "Old Henry Whiskey - Straus Gunst & Co. - Richmond, VA."
Nothing on the bottom, some large bubbles in the glass, and the seam looks like it goes up the sides & neck but stops at the top.
Any idea on the age and/or value?

Green bottles is 12" tall, very heavy, concave bottom, no markings except what is pictured on the base. (pictured)
The seam goes all the way up this bottle & over the lip.
Any idea what kind of booze was in here?
Age?
Thanks for your help,
MM

The Old Henry Whiskey bottle was commented on by PBK some time ago. Someone probably knows how to quickly retrieve his comments on this subject.

Apparently, the company was active between 1895 and 1915.

The rule I always use is if the seam goes all the way up and over then it was made after 1900's could be late 1890's though.The green one is made by Owens Illinios Glass company. (champagne or wine)I will leave you some sites to help with marks!

WOW, great info guys. I want to thank you both for those links. I saved them for future reference. I really like that whiskey bottle, and am glad to see it is so old.
I better get out there and look for some more.
Thanks so much,
MM
