RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/29/2008 7:04:57 PM    marjorie040 Posts: 365 Joined: 12/3/2006 Status: offline Thanks, TerriBerri69 for the great article on Dr. Kilmer. I especially enjoy the history connected to the bottles as well as their beauty. I found Dr. Kilmer in the 1910 census of Binghamton, NY. He was listed as a "physician" and employed at a "Cancertorium". Having some knowledge of cancer treatment in 1910, I can imagine what a depressing place that must have been. He must have been a caring physician, I doubt there was much money in cancer treatment. Regards _____________________________ marjorie040 McClellanville, sc (in reply to cookie) Post #: 32

RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/30/2008 2:50:32 AM    L C   Posts: 1506 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online The Kilmers are pretty common in my area, but I have always thought it was quite an attractive bottle, and have several different varieties of them. I liked the one that was posted with the labels intact, first one I have ever seen with the labels. I have seen them sell for around fifteen dollars in my area from time to time. They may book for more than that though. (in reply to Whisperingwinds) Post #: 35

RE: Dr Kilmer's - 1/30/2008 7:06:44 AM    pupman   Posts: 236 Joined: 11/30/2005 Status: offline Hi , The cure dates before the remedy. The labeled example I put on is very early in Kilmer history with a date on the label of 1883. If anyone would like to add  it to their collection I will sell it for $25.00 + shipping,just let me know in this thread or send me a p.m.      The little sample bottle which comes in two sizes sells for around $10 and the smaller versions of the big Kilmers are quite common.Still, they are great bottles to find and to have and when you take them in  the context of the Kilmer legacy they are great pieces of history to own,Kev (in reply to L C) Post #: 36
