[madpaddla]

Hello all:

Here is the small haul. Your insights on them is aways helpful.

4 meds:
1. The Charles Osgood Co. Norwich Conn. (large for a med.)
2. Dr. Pitcher's Castoria (aqua)
3. Chas H. Fletchers Castoria (no value super common I think)
4. National Remedy Company New York

1 Atwoods Bitters (formerly) (nice but no real value)

1 Minards Liniment So. Framingham Mass. U S A (12 sided)

1 Large NON screw top Father John's Medicine

1 clycerine Larkin Buffalo

1 perfume I believe seen at top.

Reward offered:

I have yet to find a value on this local med. I have 5 currently and believe they are rarer than other local meds. If someone finds a good resource/book on CT meds and sodas I would love to send my best local bottle for their efforts.

I know this is a "chessey" comment...reward...but I have been stymied trying to find just about anything regarding CT meds/sodas.

Thanks all

Nice finds,unfortunately I believe the Charles Osgood bottle to be fairly common.I have dug several both in New England and in the midwest.Would guess they date to about 1900.Would not assume the value to be over a couple of bucks.Good luck and keep on digging.
