Your bottle is not the most common or valuable bottle the put out but not the most common either. It is valued at $20 to $25 localy. I saw one on Ebay listed as a poison and emailed the seller that is was not. I also emailed the buyer after the seller refused to change his description but he didn't seem to care either. He paid over 100 bucks for a med bottle that has mostly local intrest. My mom had to have mine. LoL She always gets her way. If you ever decide to sell it I would be interested. I've added a pic of the poison. They sell for $500++. I have been offered $250 for mine with a hole in it but it is the only one I have for now.

Tell her not to open it. After 100 years or so the fumes from some of those chemical/drug remmedies can be dangerous. It is very cool to find them with contents though. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to annie44) Post #: 5
