Need several better pictures as the pattern is not clear.
It does appear to have almost the same pattern on the sides as on the bottom - just a guess.
I would guess these are probably from some of the pressed glass sets that Libby and many other companies made in the USA several years ago.
Similar ones were usually sold in the 5 and 10 cent stores to imitate the expensive crystal glasses that were so popular. Some types were also given away as 'gift' at service stations when you had a gas 'fill up'.

I'm not sure the pattern really matters as most buyers will not know the pattern name so they will just search until they find a pattern they like - in the size they're looking for.
These are usually very low value items and very, very slow selling. You can check eBay sold listings to see what the average pressed glass is actually selling for - average: $4-6 per glass and not very many have been sold in several months where there are always hundreds listed for sale.
Perhaps if we had better pictures (especially all sides of the glass) and size/ounces we could tell for sure about the age and value.
Most likely the only glasses that are sell-able will be the 2 perfect glasses as not many people want a drinking glass that has chips.

Your glasses do not appear to be crystal, due to it's thick texture, these glasses were in a lot of households throughout the years, they may be a generic brand worth up to $10 each in good condition

Can you please show a better picture of the image--the pattern? A photo with a bright light and something dark inside the glass--like a black piece of paper or dark blue fabric will make the pattern stand out and maybe I can get an idea of what you have.

From the little I can make out, it is a pressed glass, not crystal, tumbler, but I can't make out anything else to help you more.

The bottom with the star is interesting, but that is a kind of common bottom pattern, so that is not enough to go on.

Post back with more and hopefully I can help more! Thanks!
