WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! IT IS NOT VERY OLD 40S-60S? USUALLY SOMETHING THIS NEW AND IN JUST CLEAR GLASS WOULD HAVE NO VALUE,BUT SINCE THE BOTTLE HAS THE NARCOTIC NAME "DEMEROL" ON IT MAY MAKE IT WORTH A FEW BUCKS. SOMEBODY ROUND THERE HAD SOME SEIOUS PAIN...WELL TILL THEY DRANK OR GOT OF SHOT OF DEMEROL![&:] JAMIE

Thanks for the replies! It is an interesting little bottle. Makes me wonder who needed the stuff...

Any idea what the markings on the bottom mean?

99.9% of such bottles aren't worth a penny, but with such embossing i bet you could get 15-20 bucks or more on eBay if you listed it right.


Too bad it wasn't found still full with label in a basement, then it would fetch 100-200+ if not removed by ebay at the urging of silly prudes.
