    Dirty M.R. Sacramento

    Wash with water and soft brush. Use a wire coat hanger or similar wire with patch of scrubby pad on end to reach inside. You can bend wire to access all areas. Then post pics again. You will have an idea then if you want it tumbled.

    Newbie on Jar Doctor Tumbler

    Good luck with your tumbler! I run mine 24/7 from April to Oct., and same motor for 22 years. Does produce a little heat, just give it some air. Not sure why he sent you 1200 as I thought he suggested 1500 as the all purpose. I don't mind the hour a week it takes to change and start 2 new...

    "Old Taylor" E.H. Taylor & Sons, Frankfort Kentucky, Whiskey Crock

    Hard to find, but not rare. In that condition very little value. $5 to $20?

    The S C Dispensary bottles are your best imo.

    Open pontil Powell's American Liniment

    In Digger O'dell's "Medicines 2002". One sold in 1988 for $60. Should bring much more today. Seems to be rare- not in Holst book. Well said Harry! nhpharm is correct.

    My first local druggist Frankfort KY

    Probably an 1880''s bottle as Mr Chapman died 1893 ( google it). Most Frankfort's sell in the $20-30 range. Having dug there, it's not one of the most common drugstores.
