The first is a Red Dragon Seltzer Co New York bottle in light green. This bottle is blown and looks just like the blue bromo seltzers. Any info or price?

This one is embossed Guaranteed Trade Mark Flask with a weird Coffee pot lookin thing with a Q in the middle and the back is embossed Notice the contents of this bottle is not sold as a measured quantity but as a quanity in bulk.

If you guys have any info on these bottles and PRICES I would really be interested. Thanks a ton guys.

The RED DRAGON in green is worth about $12. 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.

Guaranteed Trade Mark Flask

I've got this in clear, has no tint at all. Yours may cobalt or may be irradiated, what do you think? If it is it sure took the color well. Either way I like the busy embossing, don't you?
I like the Keene geo. more though.

Holy smokes! GREAT finds!
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?

The ink looks like Keene Geometric, pattern GIII-29. Ron had one he tried to sell, maybe he'll stop by and compare.

I knew that name sounded familliar? I was looking at my map of georgia vt from 1871, And guess what Silas smith of SMITH'S GREEN MOUNTAIN RENOVATOR MANUFACTURY, WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT A MILE. The ground is freezing up now after the warm spell but i will definitely head over there and see if i can find a cellar hole or something and let folks know.
