Hi all,

Over the winter I have slowly but surely built a collection of shockingly common patent med bottles. I have been going to antique shops with the wife, and I can't seem to stop picking them up when I see them. I think I am an embossing addict.

Here is a common I picked up today, odd only because of the condition of the label. Any bottle this complete at 3 bucks is a good find in my book.......

even common meds are much more collectable with good labels.
I have seen several medicones that are normally worth a couple bucks sell for $50-100 with labels. Some of the labels had very cool graphics. The Dr Hand medicines are a good example.
