Status: offline A fellow digger close by to me called me a few minutes ago and is coming over to show me and possibly sell me a milkglass patent medicine.It is embossed HITE'S PAIN CURE FOR HUMAN'S AND ANIMALS ROANOKE,VA. I dig these all the time in clear and aqua but never in milkglass and never heard of one in milkglass.What would be a fair price for a bottle like this?I would like to have it for my collection but i dont want to get burned either .Any help is appreciated. _____________________________ CENTRAL VIRGINIA DIGGER EDDIE ROCKBRIDGE - ALLEGHENY ANTIQUE BOTTLE CLUB Post #: 1

RE: Need info fast - 3/12/2010 11:07:00 AM    appliedlips Posts: 3396 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline         I agree. It is still a valuable bottle but no where near what it would be if embossed with that magic word. Still a great local or to those who collect the white stuff. _____________________________ LOOKING FOR PONTILLED OR EARLY SQUAT SODAS FROM HIGHLAND,ILLNOIS.. (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 12

RE: Need info fast - 3/12/2010 12:50:11 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 11468 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I wonder why they blew some in milkglass? There doesnt seem to be any particular reason like for cosmetics bottles. Maybe they were done more as display pieces? _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 13

RE: Need info fast - 3/12/2010 3:06:39 PM    RIBottleguy Posts: 887 Joined: 3/5/2008 From: South Kingstown, RI Status: offline The neck looks a little funny, like it's too perfect for a 100 year old bottle.  Also the color is a little strange for milk glass.  Maybe someone got their hands on on a Hite's mold and made this bottle recently?  Just a thought.

Status: offline I have no idea why these would be made in milkglass,maybe as matt said a display piece.As far as the form of the bottle it is the same exact form as all the aqua and clear ones i dig in 1890 to 1910 dumpsites.I have held the bottle in my hand personally and the picture does make it look different as far as the color.The color is a more dull look to it maybe he used a flash or something to give the shiny appearence in picture. _____________________________ CENTRAL VIRGINIA DIGGER EDDIE ROCKBRIDGE - ALLEGHENY ANTIQUE BOTTLE CLUB (in reply to RIBottleguy) Post #: 15

RE: Need info fast - 3/12/2010 3:35:07 PM    RED Matthews Posts: 2268 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline Hello you bottle people.  I just wrote a post on milk glass a few minutes ago and got timed out loosing the typing.  It seems to happen when I get rambling on too much.  Anyway milk glass is not the easiest glass to blow in some shapes, especially a med like this one. That was the main point of my try.  RED Matthews _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to crozet86) Post #: 16

RE: Need info fast - 3/12/2010 3:47:49 PM    Staunton Dan Posts: 2249 Joined: 5/5/2005 From: Batesville, VA Status: offline That's a great bottle Eddie. Too bad he won't let go of it. I have only found the Roamoke bottle in clear. It too was a remedy bottle. The One shown from Staunton is a cure an in aqua. I have also found the Staunton bottle in clear but never found either one in milk glass. At least I know that they exist and the possibility is there that one might turn up. Thanks for posting.
