A cordial may also be a medicinak drink.Some of the older bottles are high priced. (in reply to wega1126) Post #: 3

Before Edward Barq became famous for his rootbeer he was in New Orleans in 1897 with his brother, and it was called Barq's Brothers Cordials. That probably means I have no chance of ever finding one of these bottles because it probably took a paper label. I was hoping this might have been some sort of mineral water that came in a Hutch. bottle. But you never know, I've found older stuff with paper labels on them. (in reply to wega1126) Post #: 5

We've been several times, they have a good show and most come with good Ms. bottles. Look up a preacher named John, he and a preacher friend of his used to make the Vicksburg show with really good Ms. bottles. We're from Corinth,have a few Ms. bottles in our collection but as yet we only collect. (in reply to wega1126) Post #: 7

He has a nice collection of just about everything. Let me know what in particular you are looking for and I'll ask him if he's got it. Last time I was at his house I remember him talking about some McHenry medicine bottles he had just dug up. (in reply to wega1126) Post #: 8

I see that he has not signed in here for over a year. The archives of A-BN are wonderful. You might actually learn something by reading thrrough them, but your wholesale bumping up of these somnolent posts is causing a disturbance in the force... Are you having problems with impulse control? (in reply to carobran) Post #: 10
