Druce & Co. Medicine Bottle

[ACLbottles]

I bought this medicine bottle the other day, and I was wondering if anyone would know the value of it. I bought it for $3, did I make a good deal? From the top, it says: Dispensing Chemists Druce & Co 118 High Street Oxford. On one side it says One Table Spoon and has 1/16 at the top, and on the other side it says Two Table Spoons and has 1/8 at the top. I researched it and found that this was an English company, but I couldn't find anything about the bottles. Thanks in advance for anything.

Finally, the Two Table Spoons.

And I woulda thought it was from Mississippi.

Yeah... I googled the address and found that there was an article about the company being started in the 1870's I think, and it said England.

There are several indicators there that tell you its an English med without even needing to look it up.
First its marked Oxford, a well known English city. Most USA pharmacy bottles will have the city name and state.
It is marked Chemist which is more typically English, in the USA druggist or pharmacy is more common.
The lip style looks more British.
The color appears to be a light blue more common in British meds.
All in all its a very British looking med.

Yup, my thought exactly.

Thanks for the info, guys. Would anyone happen to know the value?

Anyone have any idea of the value?

Three dollars would be a good guess. English bottles are not very popular with collectors in the USA.
