the schnapps bottle is running 20-500 bucks right now.(saw one sell for almost 500 and one for 15 bucks)..depending upon color and condition. The cobalt blue ones are very sought after, as are the puce(your third pic looks like a puce) colored... nice haul!
as for the others, would have to see what the embossing on them says. Could be very collectible to ppl who collect local bottles. If no embossing is on them, then they are generic blobs.
very nice digs!
as far as info goes...schiedam is a city in the netherlands. There's a famous painting by matisse called "Lemons and a Schiedam Bottle" from 1896. Bottle would be from late 1800's. there was a legal dispute between udolpho and another distiller about who could use "schiedam" on their bottle..
here's a link to a bit of info about these bottles...

The schnapps bottles are worth a few bucks!! But so are the other bottles. What’s that bottle on the far right?

The schnapps bottle is pretty old. Udolpho only sold it for 30yrs. 1841-1871. Found a sweet link to Udolpho history etc, but I pm'd that to you.
for anyone else that wants to read up on it. Or look at all of the colors this bottle was made in:

What are the odds
someone could lose a dozen or so harmonicas all in one place?
Great find on the bottles keep digging..Gil
