Hello all, I'm new to the forum.
I made an interesting find yesterday. I found a stash of 9 old bottles stuck in the attic of our old house. (house over 100 years old)
Anyway most of them are 9" Watkin's Trial Mark bottles. Some hand blown some machine blown. There was a nice amber blob top Warner's Kidney & Liver Cure bottle. A nice pint oval flask shaped bottle. (flat bottom, no marks, machine blown)
And the interesting one that I can't find any info on is almost identical to the Watkin's bottles but it says Confer's Trial Mark. On the side it says, The S.D. Confer Med. Co. It is machine blown 9" tall and slightly purplish.
Has anyone ever heard of "Confer's" and if so are they rare.
Oh and one other tragic thing is that it was the one that cracked while trying to get it out of the hole it was jammed in. (there is a small hole in the back and cracks going around the shoulders and side but still in one piece) And the cork is still in it
Thanks,[
]
