Which ones are the least common? Thanks, Kelley Even though they are common, I have always thought they were a pretty bottle. (in reply to portland med. man) Post #: 23

LINKS - Rumford chemical works - 6/11/2005 12:06:02 PM    living4thesavior   Posts: 11 Joined: 6/10/2005 From: Western New York Status: offline I have done some research on Rumford Chemical Works, because I have one of the smaller green bottles. The bottles come in emerald green, teal (most common), and cobalt blue (rarest) colors. The most common size is 5 1/2, but also comes in larger (though rarer) 7 1/2" size. I have compiled a few relevant links below: --------------------------------------------------- - Here is a picture of a bottle with the lable still on. - This gives a picture of the factory and lots of info on the company. - The seller of this bottle is asking a rather hight price. - This seller is asking a more average price. Hope that helps! < Message edited by living4thesavior -- 6/11/2005 12:11:48 PM > (in reply to portland med. man) Post #: 25

My records such as they are indicate I sold a true green Rumfords on Ebay to a Mr. Dayer in Minnesota for $32.50 about a year and a half two years ago. I keep pretty crappy records Rich.

Prices - 6/11/2005 9:04:09 PM    living4thesavior   Posts: 11 Joined: 6/10/2005 From: Western New York Status: offline In my previous message, I gave two links to sites selling these bottles on the internet. Here they are again: 1. http://pages.intrinsiccollectibles.com/7797/PictPage/1921676549.html - This one is priced at $42.95! (I don't know if anyone will pay that much, though.) 2. http://antiques2jewelry.com/antiques_bottles_2.htm - The seller of this bottle is asking $25 for it. Also, I searched eBay's Completed Items and saw one of the 5 and 1/2 inch teal blue bottles sell for $13.49. (Teal is the most common of the Rumford bottle colors.) That's all 4 now.

On the side of my bottle it reads "RUMFORD CHEMICAL WORKS" On the bottom it reads "PATENTED MARCH 10 1868. Do you know the value of a bottle like this? I have found a ton of old bottles just recently at my brothers home in Maui, HI. Lots of old Maui Soda "No Ka Oi" and alot of the Haleakala Dariy Bottles. Do you know anything about their value? Thanks, Jill Peterson I can send picture later. (in reply to lacolobiger) Post #: 30
