Nice find, These bottles date around 1890's and the lack of pontil marks help date them. The medicine bottle look to be a salts medicine. The tall black ring top look to be applied ring lip. again no clear pontil marks. When bottles have a pontil mark on the bottom then you have older ones 1840's or older. Good luck in finding more. Thank you for the post and great pictures.
 

Here are a few more he has found...cool stuff!

The green bottle is for Gin, nice bitter bottle. It think they date all around 1880 to 1900. There must be more bottles, good luck for a rare one and thanks for showing.
