Hi everyone, Go easy on me because I am just learning about bottles and their values. Ive been looking for one of the small Bayer Heroin Bottles for my collection. Can anyone tell me much about these bottles and their rarity etc.LisaP.s. I'm not a junkie LOL. Used to be a paramedic so I am interested in old medicine bottles.

Hi Lisa: Just a heads up to be careful on Ebay as there are sellers who list "genuine" repro bottles of Bayer heroin bottles, using copies of the famous label as depicted in the print you reference. Regards, Glen

Stephen: I think you took my posting the wrong way. I wasn't commenting on you at all or trying to suggest that you've been duped. But there are some on Ebay who try to dupe buyers with faked labels, especially Bayer heroin bottles and the like. One Ebay seller likes to use the word "excogitated" to describe his labelled bottles. Sounds impressive until you realize the word means thought out, as in imagined -- a fancy way of saying faked. Anyhow, no offence intended to you. Regards, Glen

Lisa, with Stephen's approval, could you post some of the pictures of the Bayer bottles for the rest of us to see?
