Agree, 1890's or later. Film Kodaks were first introduced in 1888. I think best market as a "collectible" would be for people who collect old cameras and other early photography related items. There are a lot of them out there, but kind of specialized.
I was doing some digging by the river this last weekend and came a cross a clear 7 inch or so bottle which had REGISTERED WM JAY BARKER HIRSUTUS NEW YORK on the front of it,seven oz on the side of it.. I was hoping to find out what was in it. Any guesses would be great. I have no pictures.
