Chemist Bottles info?

[nargo]

Over the summer I bought these at a garage sale..the woman who was in her sixties told me they were her grandfathers..he was a chemist..I have a whole box of them..they are all etched with all different compounds on them..I was wondering the value,age etc..all the seams stop before the neck and the lips appear to be tooled...thanks!...Jim

Well it is discouraging when no one helps. I assume they are an apothecary type jar or bottle. It looked like a ground tapered closure. There a lot of them with label panels applied and to me the most interesting ones are empontilled on the bottom. Value isn't staggering but it all depends on what you like to collect. I must have a half dozen of them somewhere. I get surprises when I open boxes from 76 years of collecting. RED Matthews

Are you referring to the label under glass bottles Red? Those can go for a bit more than the etched, embossed and embossed ground letter bottles. Of coarse anything with a narcotic can get way up there price wise.
