sc dispensary bottle - 7/6/2008 10:35:37 PM    lowcountry_lookin   Posts: 14 Joined: 11/7/2007 From: South Carolina Status: offline Finally found a sc dispensary rum bottle.  It's pint size, aqua blue, no bottom mark.  No cracks or chips, and very clean.  I was very lucky.  I found it on the bank of a river were a bulldozer had made a path.  missed the bottle by inches, but also uncovered it.  I know some of the dispensary bottles are more rare than others.  any help would be apprieciated.

The last one I saw like that sold for $350 several years ago. _____________________________ 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 kastoo) Post #: 5

You should realy go back where you found it and look for more. (in reply to glass man) Post #: 7

RE: sc dispensary bottle - 7/11/2008 9:28:13 PM    marjorie040 Posts: 361 Joined: 12/3/2006 Status: offline Hi Lowcountry, Phillip Huggins book The South Carolina Dispensary lists nearly all of the pint cylinders as "very rare" with a few listed as "comparatively scarce"....none have glass makers marks. The book doesn't give value but confirms that you've got a beauty there!! I'd love to see the embossing alittle clearer.
