Dr. Kilmers Cough Bottle?????????????

How rare is this Bottle, I thought Kilmers were pretty common. My Buddy said he was offered $4,000.00 for this which I though was insane?

It doesn't answer your question, but I saw one dug on one of the "Below The Plains" YouTube episodes. Before that, I did not know that Kilmer's had bottled a consumption cure with debossed, lung-shaped panel similar to the kidney cure bottles. On the other hand, for what it's worth, I did not see any great excitement expressed about the bottle on the video.

Never heard of the Kilmer's Consumption Oil until now, they must not have made too many.

For your sake, I hope it is!

I've seen these out East, but don't recall what the price tags were. Kind of high, but don't believe they were $4gs There is also an example with a debossed heart on it. The Lungs and the plain ones are the most common.

Very outdated, but in O'dell's Vol. 5 Medicines, mint one sold in 1988 for $325

I'd take that price! If that's what they're offering accept! 4gs is an outrageous amount for a bottle in my opinion!

This one just sold on ebay for $1,800+. SO, Why would anybody offer $4,000.00 on this one?

Perhaps due to condition succinctly described in an old saying: "They have more money than sense." ?

I can't imagine anyone buying any bottle for $1800.00. I don't like spending more than 20.
