I gave up the boys for this bottle, but am very excited about this find. Wow...
It is just a local thing but check this out.

Now here was the clincher for me....

It dates when it was sold... and shipped.

That was the first thing I thought Zane. That was the clincher on the value aspect. It is difficult to place a value on a local druggist bottle but when considering the box etc. it is a personal value.

Not sure how much the stamp is worth but I don'tthink I would break them up. The stamp concludes the history. There is no guessing.

Good to hear from you Zane. Got any good Vermont bottles?

Hey Joel, Shouldn't you let the younger diggers know what the grip is??? [sm=lol.gif]

It's what happens if you get some bad mushrooms.[:D]
