I have checked the completed auctions, and a couple other places that are of help sometimes but I have not had any luck. Though I guess that's kinda good.Thanks for the suggestion.
I did check completed auctions as well as a few other resources,but with no luck,although I guess that is not a bad thing. I dug a whole bunch of Philly bottles over the years and have not seen either of these, but I'm sure someone has??
I dug a bit on the history of this and can see why no one has seen it before. Alfred C Merritt is listed as a druggist at 325 N. 18th St. in Philadelphia in 1863; this appears to be the first year he is listed. In 1864, he has partnered with John M. Larkin as wholesale druggists at 41 N. 3rd. By 1865, the partnership is dissolved, John M. Larkin is a druggist on his own, and Alfred C. Merritt has gone into business with Harvey W. Hunter at the same address (41 N. 3rd.). So it would appear that your bottle is from 1864. Great find!
Nhpharm,and Saratogadiver, big Thank you to you guys for that,that was very kind to take the time,I guess that would be good news to a lot of medicine collectors.I had a feeling on this bottle ,glad I picked it.Now what to do with it.Thanks Again !
