Hi Steve,

STEVEN'S from LOWELL,MASS. USA is listed as Scarce in John DeGrafft's American Sarsaparilla Bottles so that was a good find. The rest are pretty common but as long as they are in good shape you did OK.Yes, I have a few interesting bottles, been digging off and on since the late 50's.

The Groders is probably worth about $20. Which Rushs bottle is that, Sarsparilla? Rush's Sarsaparilla is pretty commom. The kilmers and chamberlain are common. The stevens is definately the best one.
