Anyone interested in buying? - 6/30/2008 8:44:12 AM    liightfoot   Posts: 38 Joined: 6/27/2008 Status: offline This bottle is mint and says it is for medicinal use.  I am interested in selling but unaware of value.  I found the company history but nothing on this bottle. Post #: 1

I have seen whiskeys, gins, brandies, and wines. I dont think that relates to the value much. Most of its desirability would probably be due to the embossed city , for local collectors. You are correct , rarity, doesnt always equate to high value.  < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/4/2008 9:33:52 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to liightfoot) Post #: 8

Ten four on the rarity thing...I have had a nice offer on the bottle, but guess it's gonna stay on my fly tying bench. Had I sold it for the right price it would have given me the incentive to sell off my cobalt master inks, Warners, etc.  Collected this stuff in the 60's, when the good stuff was to be had. Thanks for the info.  Bob (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 9

Detrick operated a milling Co. in 1884. Later he began distilling the grain he milled. The Detrick Milling and Distilling co. was established in 1897. Your bottle dates from around 1910. They are not the most common of whiskeys but they are around. You can usually find two or three at most bottle shows. They sell for 20-25 dollars. The money when it comes to Detrick is in his sample jugs or motto jugs. They were given away to customers of his retail store as well as new mail order customers. There were 12 of them.... 1: "As I go up the hill of prosperity, may I never meet a friend." 2: "Eat, drink and be merry." 3: "While we live, let’s live." 4: "May fortune ever smile on you." 5: "To err is human, to forgive divine." 6: "There’s always more from where I came." 7: "I am always welcome wherever I go." 8: "A friend in need is a friend indeed." 9: "When you see me you will always smile." 10: "If you try me once you will try me again." 11: "Drink weary Pilgrim, for tomorrow you may die." 12: "Rye on Toast." _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0 ya never come back (in reply to liightfoot) Post #: 10
