Very odd Hostetter’s bottle
Thank you Nhpharm, that's about what I was thinking. It must be scarce, as I've been doing this hobby for 25 years and never seen one. Too bad it's not old and scarce, lol. Thanks again!- treasurekidd

Very odd Hostetter’s bottle
Hello, I picked up a strange Dr. Hostetter’s bottle today that I think may be some sort of repro. It’s a dark amber stomach bitters bottle, but it reads “Dr. J. Hostetter’s Stomachic Bitters” instead of “Stomach”. The lip seems off as well, and on the base it an Owens Illinois mark which doesn’t...- treasurekidd

Mystery 517 Massachusetts Milk Bottle
Yes, interesting indeed. It’s a little out of territory for my collection, but it was unique enough that I bought it just to try to figure out what is was. No luck so far though :(- treasurekidd

R. C. & E. New York ??
Great job on the ID DavidW! Here's a bit more info on Reed, Carnick & Edwards from an 1873 ad. Definitely a medicine company: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Physician_and_Bulletin_of_the_Medico/Bi3AL2592jkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=reed+carnick+edwards+new+york&pg=PA6&printsec=frontcover- treasurekidd

Mystery 517 Massachusetts Milk Bottle
Thanks, CanadianBottles, I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps some sort of laboratory bottle, with 517 being a lot or control number? Very possible. Thanks!- treasurekidd

Dr. Patton?
You've got a pretty rare bottle there, and quite valuable from what I understand. Should be from Rosebud, TX, right? Dr Patton was an early imitator of Dr. Pepper, here's a thread on this forum with some information about it. Excellent find, good luck with it...- treasurekidd

Mystery 517 Massachusetts Milk Bottle
Hello, I picked up a mystery half pint Massachusetts milk bottle today, embossed only with the number 517 in the slug plate. I've never seen a milk bottle embossed with just a number like this, and my attempts to research this bottle have turned up nothing, so I was hoping someone else could...- treasurekidd

Info Needed Please
What DavidW wrote is accurate regarding the block style lettering. Coca Cola was never bottled in anything except the script lettered bottles. Block letter bottles were for the other flavors bottled at the plant. On your bottle, I would guess maybe $30-$50 worth, or possibly more if a couple of...- treasurekidd

Rows, Farmers Friend
Wow, now that's a nice bottle. I would say that it's highly desirable to collectors, and I would agree with you on the mid to late 1800's. I'd need to see a better picture of the lip to be more certain. Definitely YES, it is worth keeping, or selling. Here's an old thread from this site about...- treasurekidd

Whale Oil
That's a fantastic find, and quite a piece of New Bedford whaling history. I've seen several Nye whale oil bottles from NB, but I've never seen Erza Kelly. Accord to this, it is most likely Blackfish (Pilot Whale) oil: https://educators.mysticseaport.org/artifacts/ezra_kelley_watch_oil/ Here's...- treasurekidd

Cornfield finds ...can't believe they survive!!!
Nice finds! There was a La Relco Co located in Elkhart, IN according to this 1919 reference. Looks like they made dyes, perhaps? Dyestuffs - Google Books- treasurekidd

Charles Hedden, New York
I believe this is your Charles Hedden, of Hedden & Eberhardt, New York, NY, makers of perfumes, toilet waters, sachets and powders. This is a 1915 patent reference. Also, here is a link to a 1910 announcement of the company incorporating. The American Perfumer and Essential Oil Review (1906) -...- treasurekidd
