Set of Vail's Pharmacy, Rochester NY - 11/26/2011 10:12:15 PM    jane8851 Posts: 793 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Picked these up along with some others at a local auction today. Anyone know anything about Vail's Pharmacy? Would these be used to fill prescriptions or used in the pharmacy for storage. They're a beautiful dark teal color. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

It's one thing to find a single bottle, but to find a set of three of the same company & type of design in all different sizes is stupendous! _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.

RE: Set of Vail's Pharmacy, Rochester NY - 11/27/2011 5:45:18 PM    truedigr   Posts: 187 Joined: 6/12/2010 Status: offline I wouldn't take less than $200. Put them on ebay and see what they bring if you want the top dollar for them. Just one like that from Texas usually brings $400 - $600, but I'm sure teal colored NY drugstores command about 1/4 of that. Those bottles are an excellent score by the way especially with the original stoppers. Way to go and good eye. Keep it up. Robert (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 17

Druggists arent my specialty so i would see what they bring on ebay if you set a high reserve first. (in reply to truedigr) Post #: 18

RE: Set of Vail's Pharmacy, Rochester NY - 11/27/2011 10:20:58 PM    Ace10Tex   Posts: 63 Joined: 4/21/2011 Status: offline Jane, Not sure about what the price is on these either but like KB said I would put it on Fleabay with a high reserve of your choice and see what the bidders do as you can always re-list it if they don't hit the mark or pull them if they don't to get a better idea. Also not sure of what some of the other forum members are offering so I would not want to comment on an amount. I know if I had the cash right now what I would offer you but again since I do not I won't say an amount. I think using Ebay as a measuring stick is solid advise when you don't have any other way to measure the value. Regardless I love the color and embossing and the fact that these have all the stoppers which from what they look like and your description makes them even more desirable!! Great finds!! That Ravenna anchor flask is sweet too! Love to see some pics of them in natural light! Good luck no matter what you decide to do with them! HH Ace (in reply to jane8851) Post #: 19
