    MEDICINE bottle in box from Great grandfather store

    *takes a bow* Trust me, once I'm down that rabbit hole, I'm going right to the very end lol. I couldn't find out anything about the Com Club though, but I'm guessing it was probably some form of gentlemen's club.

    Worth bidding?? HELP!

    I collect 'patent medicine' bottles mainly, but I do like the poison bottles. They're pretty common though, so I only want the rarer ones.

    Worth bidding?? HELP!
