Old bottles worth anything? - 6/19/2004 8:34:43 PM    abroadwaybender   Posts: 2 Joined: 6/19/2004 Status: offline Can anyone tell me anything about these bottles? I've had them for years and probably picked them up at an estate sale some time back. The one on the left is embossed and says "Merrell's Rubbing Alcholol Compound, Rub with the Best." The one in the middle is embossed with a woman holding a pitcher and says "Buffalo Lithia Water, Natures Medica Materia, Trade Mark." And the small one on the right is embossed with a cross inside an oval at the top and beneath that says "Tisane Des Chartreux De Durbon." Both small bottles have a seam all the way up through the threads of the tops but the Buffalo Water thread stops before the top of the bottle. Also the Buffalo Water bottle has bubbles in the glass and is embossed with 845 B on the bottom.[image][/image] Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I'm considering putting them on eBay and don't know how much to ask for them. Do you have any idea? $5, $10, or more? Maybe less! I really like having information and a story to go along with the bottles. I'm tempted to keep them myself now. Brenda (in reply to abroadwaybender) Post #: 4
