I remembered that there was a place I could find out about them. I told the lady running the sale and she wrote down Antique-bottles.net to check out later. Anyway ... I have a Bromo-Seltzer Bottle with Lid Lable and Contents (at least 1/2) It is 4" tall 1 1/2" wide - Light-ish Blue The Bottle - The Bottom - Circle M and the Number 7 The Base - BROMO_SELTZER _ EMERSON DRUG CO The Lid - BROMO-SELTZERTRADE MARK REGUS PAT OFF - Keep Tightly Closed The Label - Net Weight GRANULAR EFFERVESCENT 1 9/32 OZS CONTROL # 2551 "The Emerson Drug Company of Baltimore City, Maryland" Any Ideas as to date or Value - Thanks So Much !!

That is a post 1920 Bromo bottle. Label looks real nice along with the cap. The contents are nice but in general doesn't add value to the price of the bottle. The depth of color vary. The lid/label add value b/c most don't have em. Yours is a nice bottle but common also. Bromo was asprin I believe. A good debate is: Is there more catsup or bromo bottles? Still a very good looking bottle. Madpaddla _____________________________ It pays to look down.

Woof that is unreal. I'm beating up a dump but that looks like it was all pulled in one day. Did you have an army or is that multiple days. Great pics.
