RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/26/2008 5:12:30 PM    TerriBerri69   Posts: 10 Joined: 1/26/2008 Status: offline I knew it was a liver/kidney cure.  Says that on the bottle. We also have an old book that lists it at $8-$10 (1963 copywrite) Was looking for new info/price. Please & thank you. Terri (in reply to saphireblue) Post #: 4

RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/26/2008 9:50:00 PM    saphireblue Posts: 179 Joined: 1/24/2008 From: Pennsylvania Status: offline The bottle he was talking about was the one with embossing on it.  The one with the liver on it would be more.  If the paper label was on the back it would go for even more.  The bottle with the embossing on em go for about 5 bucks a piece.  I could actually buy em for less at antique stores.  I guess its what swamp bottle you have and how attractive it is. _____________________________ what you dig is what you find.

RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/27/2008 11:38:18 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I think I currently list 5 different variants of the cure with the kidney shaped recess. One is fairly common , the other range from scarce to rare.  For instance there os a 9" longer neck version that is much less common. _____________________________ 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 tigue710) Post #: 10

RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/27/2008 4:06:16 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Those are defiately better than the run-of-the-mill Kilmers. The olive green ones (even light green) normally sell well.  There are a lot of Kilmer collectors out there. _____________________________ 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 tigue710) Post #: 17
