I would say they were late Victorian and of "Woolworth's" type quality. Despite their differences I would say they all came from the same company. Quality control was nothing like we expect today.

I like odd, old glasses like these because of their quirkiness and the fact that they are still around. Whoever bought them obviously treasured them.
