Bottles need info

[molonlabe12]

Hey guys I found some bottles at a flea market and bought them not really sure what value or history was behind them. One is a W.L Weller & Sons distillers Louisville, KY. The other says Acme chemical manufacturing co. Limited sole manufacturers New Orleans U.S.A LA. Can anyone tell me about these? Can't find any info.

Acme Chemical started in 1890, I found an address at 517 St Louis St. in the French Quarter. (About a mile and a half from my house. Pretty sure the building is all condos today) They were basically a patent medicine company, and had at least one problem with getting caught selling bunk medicine... I know they were in business into the 1920's but I'm not sure when they finally went out.
