Not worth anything really, but the chip is annoying.
See the chip? Anything I can do about it?
What can I do to make this less noticeable?

Actually, my last marker died. It started oozing all over this bottle:
Notice that it says "Dr." Makes it special to me.

"Lavender smelling salts" was the product. Not sure why lavender would be in green, but alrighty. It had a stopper at one point-- nice big green one. Is there a resin I could form?

I have a lot of druggist type bottles, but none that say doctor yet. If you find another please let me know ! Cool bottle !

One sold awhile ago online. All I can find other than a reference of his coming over from Germany, to Chicago, then to my town. One day I'll probably dig one (I hope.) I might also find one at the club at some point-- even more likely is that I'll find another town's with "Dr." in it at the club. Would any with "Dr." do? Elmer might have an extra with 'Dr.' in it. I'll do a post in my Muskegon Historic Bottles page soon on it. I'll tell you that it is circa-1904 right now, though.

hellp My friend. What is so important about the Dr. ??? I have a lot of bottles with Dr. on them. Some are even sample bottles that never had product in them. RED M.

Red, "Dr." is not important, but it's just more collectible. Most medicine bottles with "Dr." on them are "Patent Medicines"-- like Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Remedy. Those went all over the country and were 'trusted' because they were from a 'well-known' 'doctor.' So those are common to see. But a real "Druggist" bottle usually does not have "Dr." in it. Druggists are for their own town or towns nearby only. "Locals," people call the type of bottle-- like mine are mostly for only Muskegon, whereas Dr. Kilmer has his bottles sent everywhere. Most druggists weren't doctors. So it's special.
