Nice openers, good finds! The Dr. Pepper is a style B-14, (JFO #), made by Vaughan Co. Chicago, Il. called a "Special Pocket Bottle Opener", made around 1900 to 1910. It was used by Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Dr.Pepper, Nehi, and countless beer companies. Value is between $5 and 75$ depending on condition and who's name is on it.
Your Schlitz opener is a style B-18, #69, (JFO listing), Patent # 34,096, issued to Augustus W Stephens, Feb. 19, 1901. This opener was made throughout the states by more then 15 stamping/manufacturing houses, and used as advertizing by hundreds of breweries and cola companies. The value is between $5 and $100, due to condition and what advertizing is stamped on it.
I have the Schlitz opener in about the same condition.

THANKS FOR THE INFO LUMPY, IT IS APPRECIATED.
I have a Pepsi bottle opener that I can't find on the internet.It has a full bodied woman engraved on one side and the head and one arm on the other with Drink Pepsi-Cola in Bottles 5 cents mark. It has a diamond shaped cut out close to the end. It has a link chain with a small pull back piece of metal to clasp it onto something. At the end it has I believe CT&O, or CTSO Chicago PATD. I would appreciate any information.
