There is a collectors book on these bottles that would probably give you a lot of info. Some of them are pretty rare , some arent. The ones with embossed palmettos seem to generally sell better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_Dispensary < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 6/1/2007 9:06:31 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to ncbred77) Post #: 2

They are popular because they are hard to find, which makes them more valuable and more desireable to acquire, thus they are popular. Which came first the chicken or the egg?
