I've never dug one myself but sure hope to. They're a pretty common bottle. If you put it on ebay I don't think there'd be much/any profit margin after ebay costs and shipping. I think they're in the $5-$15 range? Someone on here may want it. But other than that it's a nice looker!

I think you'll find kwalker is correct. I had one that was listed twice and had both labels and I couldn't get $30 including shipping for it. Unless by large you mean 11" full quart which I don't think exists, it's common. If you mean 11", don't let it go for $40. You never know though, you may get lucky. Good luck with it whatever you do. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to camelorama) Post #: 4

Now if it was an embossed Cough & Consumption Cure with lungs that would be 100 x different ! Great looking bottle , but very common as it was a popular brand . _____________________________ Always want Embossed Cures especially labeled with contents & box !

I was told a value by someone.... I just picked it up cause it was super clean & only a $1 I figured someone might want it...

There was a poll of collection must have more common bottles and it was right up there. Attractiveness and history make them that. For me the shipping would be too much being on the other coast. Thanks for offering. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to camelorama) Post #: 12
