Yard sale find, help from PA diggers - 6/7/2008 3:22:41 PM    Mike O Posts: 482 Joined: 12/26/2005 Status: offline So, I bought this little bottle at a yard sale today. Spent a wooping $7.00 I just kind of liked it. It is a nice shade of lets say grass green. Says John H. Phelps Pharmacist PHELPS RHEUMATIC ELIXIR Scranton PA.  it is a blown bottle 1880' or 90's  non pontiled but lots of bubbles. I doubt it is any big deal I would just like to hear from any PA diggers and collectors to see if it is a really common one ar maybe a little different.
