The CUTICURA is worth maybe $5-10. Some of the Smith's Mountain meds are fairly rare. What's embossed on yours. It looks like one of the later ones. The warrented flasks are interesting , not the typical ones you see. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/13/2006 9:17:14 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 10

I like them all, but the blue flask and blue ink are my favorites. The pontiled ink looks to be Pitkin....and it isn't listed in my kovels...no mention of a diamond pattern...But I am thinking it is a pitkin...and therefore quite valuable...anyone? _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !!
