bloocksom bros druggist

[craigc90]

I have a bunch of bottles I have dug in local dumps. All machine made except a few. I was wondering if anyone could tell me age or value of the 2 I think are the oldest. First is Blocksom Bro Druggist Zanesville Ohio It has a pontil mark on the bottom and in very good shape. The other is a blob top soda I thinkembossed CFRIEL Pittsburgh PA. I am going to try and post a few pictures so here it goes.

Hi craigc90 and welcome to the forum !
Pontiled Meds are a very popular category in bottle collecting . And of course the colored Meds are the most valuable. I don't have a current value of your Medicine.
I do have one listed as selling at public auction thru Glassworks Auctions in 1988 for 44.00 in an Aqua coloration. So , I'd say by the popularity of the category that it definetly hasn't went down in value. Nice Bottle !
And I can find any examples listed as selling at public auction of your Hutch style Soda/Beer. Well anyway , Hope this helps ! Brian

That would be great. When I get home from work today I will take picture of the pontil. I dont know the differance between pontil marks.

 

[craigc90]

Your bottle is worthless junk . Send it to me so I can dispose of it properly .[] Ease up , I'm only kidding . It is an open pontil . Nice bottle !!

So do you think its a $10.00 nice bottle or $100.00 to $200.00 nice bottle. It dont matter just cureous. I could never sell one that I found. Its a sickness once you start digging bottles its all you think about driving down the road. Every old house I go by I say wheres there dump at.I bet there is something there[][][]
