Hello
New member here. Curious, i have seen these bottles with a 707 address
but not a 714 ? Any info on it. I dug it up over 20 yrs. ago and cleaned it up.
Dedcided to ck. on any value. It is in perfect shape. No nicks, dings, scratches
or chips whatsoever. Nice color and some air bubbles.

Thank you, Ron L. Leominster, Ma.

hi,
i think its only an "unanswered question" if it doesnt get answered.
you know...I'm getting deja vu on this one...
Did you sign up under a new user name and ask about the same bottle again?

Hi !
Am i in the wrong forum ? I guess so, according to your answer (question)
I found this site while doing a search. A long while back i sent a few emails
out to people but never got back any replies about the bottle.
Oh well, must be some big mystery. Just wanted to know the history about the bottle and if it had any real value. If not, then i'll just keep it out on the shelve
where it has been for the past 2 or 3 decades.
Thank's anyway.

Nice bottle.It dates to the 1850's and is worth probably $60-$80 or a little more because of the great condition.It is not the most common mold but I have seen a few like it.Everthing is not always black and white in this hobby,but your right you didn't get much of an answer on your previous post.Doug

Same picture so it's not Deja-vu, no matter though.

Directories have Samual Sheldon Fitch located at 707 Broadway from 1847-53 followed by 714. The firm became S.S. Fitch & Son in 1873.
Paraphrased from Richard Fikes book.

Well I'll be. I did join up here and post it about a yr. ago.
Forgot all about it. I read the earlier replies. Thank's.
Not too many sites on bottles to be found besides this one.
I have many more i should post. My main collections are coins and i have some
old shaving razors etc. Have to go dig out that box of bottles.
Out of site out of mind. I got started collecting bottles when i was out hunting
in the fall and accidently found one. Then starting digging. Not real deep or anything like that. Having lived in No. Mass. all my life there are lots of good sites to find
old bottles and even indian grounds. Arrowheads etc. If you know the layout of the land and it's history. Many old fieldstone foundations from farm houses etc. that are overgrown now. I have even fallen into them as well as old wells. Ouch !!!
Never know what you can find there.
Anyway, the bottle is for sale. Would rather sell it to someone who appreciates it.

Hi,

I have a Drs. S.S. Fitch & Son 714 Broadway New York with a fancy Logo that you may have not seen. It's in my personal collection & the only one i've ever seen like it. It's a smooth base. Perfect mint too.[

] Has anyone else ever seen this example?

GuntherHess · Jul 4, 2008

Yes, I think I have seen a couple of those. I have them listed in aqua and in clear.
The ones I have seen were smooth base.

Ok cool,
I've wondered about that one and haven't run across it before. I'd like to know more about your medicine bottle price guide and possibly purchase one from you. I have Digger O'dells books but always looking for more good references. Thanks again,
~Tim

O'dell's books are very nice. I highly recommend his updated pontil medicine encyclopedia. My medicine guide is basically a value list on CDROM, no photos yet.
