Did you sign up under a new user name and ask about the same bottle again? http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-77956/mpage-1/key-fitch/tm.htm#78158 < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/28/2007 2:56:27 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to ronbonham3) Post #: 2

I guess so, according to your answer (question) I found this site while doing a search. A long while back i sent a few emails out to people but never got back any replies about the bottle. Oh well, must be some big mystery. Just wanted to know the history about the bottle and if it had any real value. If not, then i'll just keep it out on the shelve where it has been for the past 2 or 3 decades. Thank's anyway. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3

Directories have Samual Sheldon Fitch  located at 707 Broadway from 1847-53 followed by 714. The firm became S.S. Fitch & Son in 1873.

I did join up here and post it about a yr. ago. Forgot all about it. I read the earlier replies. Thank's. Not too many sites on bottles to be found besides this one. I have many more i should post. My main collections are coins and i have some old shaving razors etc. Have to go dig out that box of bottles. Out of site out of mind. I got started collecting bottles when i was out hunting in the fall and accidently found one. Then starting digging. Not real deep or anything like that. Having lived in No. Mass. all my life there are lots of good sites to find old bottles and even indian grounds. Arrowheads etc. If you know the layout of the land and it's history. Many old fieldstone foundations from farm houses etc. that are overgrown now. I have even fallen into them as well as old wells. Ouch !!! Never know what you can find there. Anyway, the bottle is for sale. Would rather sell it to someone who appreciates it. _____________________________ Ron How many Licks does it take to get to the center of a "Tootsie Pop" ???

Fitch & Son 714 Broadway New York with a fancy Logo that you may have not seen. It's in my personal collection & the only one i've ever seen like it. It's a smooth base. Perfect mint too. Has anyone else ever seen this example? ~Tim (in reply to ronbonham3) Post #: 7

I have them listed in aqua and in clear. The ones I have seen were smooth base. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/4/2008 4:36:07 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to bottle.kid) Post #: 8

I'd like to know more about your medicine bottle price guide and possibly purchase one from you. I have Digger O'dells books but always looking for more good references. Thanks again, ~Tim (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 9

I highly recommend his updated pontil medicine encyclopedia.  My medicine guide is basically a value list on CDROM, no photos yet. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to bottle.kid) Post #: 10

I like Matt's because it is quick and easy. I also have the older book version which I carry with me in the car and reference on a daily basis. It isn't the final conclusive book on everything but it gives me a good idea of what I need to know on a spur of the moment. It never ceases to amaze me. I also have a pontiled Fitch. One of my nicest pontils. Really whittled which I love. It is under rated but so is this little beauty. Dr. Porter NY.

Rick is right, I see these go for very little. If you want a nice whittled op rolled or flared lip bottle for your collection, Fitch is the way to go. Some of the Fitch bottle variants are abundant in NY and VT. Attachment (1) < Message edited by epgorge -- 7/8/2008 8:27:07 AM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 14

Yes, there were quite a few different sizes and varieties from both 714 and 707 broadway. http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/F/F.htm the nexus has a few. That one has a nice applied prescription lip but probably not a pontiled bottle. They had squats and ovals and round and shouldered squared bottles throughout the years. I would suppose there is someone out there who has them all and knows of them all. They will eventually show up here.

Happy and healthy new year and may you find a bottle you never throught you would be able to find/own and may it fall into your lap with little expense or labor. I still have the interest in bottles but find myself dealing with family and health issues. Not too sure what the Golden part of the Golden Years is but I am in it for the long haul and the good fight. I have liquidated some glass in the past couple of years but I go right out and get some more when I see something I like. Lately, I have been building up my trade Mark Lightening and other Lightning (colored) glass. I don't dig anymore and the colored ones are real expensive so I keep it to a couple of acquisitions a year. Mostly from Spurgeon. You can't beat his auctions for honesty. Just made it through another deer season. I can't hunt like I use too but I still glory in getting out there and sitting on a ridge way up in the back country. I tend to let them walk because I don't want to drag them back. Oh well, life is good. I will try to get out here more often. Please say hi to Capsoda and all the old diggers and collectors out here. Godspeed!! Joel (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 20
