Hey Port, I see these on E-Bay all the time from 4.00 to 10.00. Which ones are the least common? Thanks, Kelley
Even though they are common, I have always thought they were a pretty bottle.

LINKS - Rumford chemical works
I have done some research on Rumford Chemical Works, because I have one of the smaller green bottles.
The bottles come in emerald green, teal (most common), and cobalt blue (rarest) colors. The most common size is 5 1/2, but also comes in larger (though rarer) 7 1/2" size.
I have compiled a few relevant links below:
---------------------------------------------------
- Here is a picture of a bottle with the lable still on.
- This gives a picture of the factory and lots of info on the company.
- The seller of this bottle is asking a rather hight price.
- This seller is asking a more average price.
Hope that helps!

Aside from the different sizes and colors these come in they also have Rumford Chemical Works bottles with the patent date embossed on the bottom of both large and small sizes of bottles.

Prices
In my previous message, I gave two links to sites selling these bottles on the internet.
Here they are again:
1. http://pages.intrinsiccollectibles.com/7797/PictPage/1921676549.html
- This one is priced at $42.95! (I don't know if anyone will pay that much, though.)
2. http://antiques2jewelry.com/antiques_bottles_2.htm
- The seller of this bottle is asking $25 for it.
Also, I searched eBay's Completed Items and saw one of the 5 and 1/2 inch teal blue bottles sell for $13.49. (Teal is the most common of the Rumford bottle colors.)
That's all 4 now. [

Hey Treasure... Thanks for that link, it was pretty informative. I have a the smaller one with the short neck and a label (75% anyway). They are very cool bottles and i agree to hang onto them for future increase in value (we hope)
