They are considered scarce but not rare. Value is around $15-20. _____________________________ 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 Tony14) Post #: 27

RE: before 1900 medicines listing - 10/31/2005 2:32:56 PM    amblypygi Posts: 441 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline Just to note an interesting point about the Fahrney label posted by Guntherhess: the plant in that image is definitely not a tree (I realize nobody suggested it was), but a flowering Century plant (Agave sp.). These are very common in the Caribbean region and the southern US: http://www.naturesongs.com/vvplants/centuryplant2.jpg The Baltimore/tree bottle is clearly a tree, so I doubt they are related. Again, I know nobody said they were, but I thought it was cool that Fahrney used an image of a medicinal plant from the Carribean in the family crest, maybe that's where the business began.

RE: before 1900 medicines listing - 10/31/2005 3:52:34 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 4730 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online The image on the Fahrney seal does resemble the century plant but I would be pretty surprised if thats what it is supposed to sybolize. The Fahrney medicines originated from herbal cures in the Swiss Alps. I'm pretty sure there were no Agave plants up there. EDIT: Actually, on second thought that seal seems like it may of been an 1892 Chicago invention so the idea that it is a century plant isnt all that far fetched. It certainly goes with the 100 year anniversery theme. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 10/31/2005 4:07:40 PM > _____________________________ 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 Tony14) Post #: 33

RE: before 1900 medicines listing - 10/31/2005 5:58:04 PM    amblypygi Posts: 441 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline I don't know... I'd bet my reputation as a botanist (I'm not a botanist) that that's a century plant. I'll bet you're right in that it had something to do with the century anniversary theme. It could also have been a later development in the medicine; Agaves are used in lots of "medicinal" stuff, tequila for one. Sean (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 34

My son and I dug a perfect California Fig Syrup Co. bottle last week in almost mint condition. We found an add for it in a Youth's Companion from 1897. We found a wonderful dump across the river from Louisville (IN side). We've pulled out 45+ whole and cried over 10x that broken. I think we have only scratched the surface of it. We had to go down about 2 1/2' - 4+ for some of them. (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 37

When you get a chance, please remove the Woburn listing, I assume that's for MASS, there's no Woburn in ME. Sickney's Corner should be Stickney's Corner, you might add to that one that it is from the town of Washington.
