Found the other day

[Brian M]

These two bottles were found in an attic of an old house.

Second bottle

The two bottles you found there look to be early 1900s citrate of magnesia bottles from local druggists or pharmacists. I don't know the exact value or rarity but i do know that most green citrates are scarce bottles and most slugplate citrates are scarce also, so i would say they are probably fairly valuable bottles to a local collector.

Yeah, I will second the citrate of magnesia. Too bad that green one is beat up! I bet it's a GOOD one! It would be cool to have some other bottles from the same druggists for a display.

 

[Brian M]

Yeah too bad about the green one. The mason and beach business goes back to the 1870's, there are a lot of different druggist bottles out there from them, but this is the first time that I seen these two. The green bottle was the best but as you can see, it is bruised in the front and there is a crack in the back on the inside. If they are after 1900, maybe that is why we haven't seen them in the privys that we have dug here so far. I guess we will have to keep digging.

I've never seen either, but I'd bet the green one would bring $200 if mint

Very nice bottles Brian. Congratulations on your finds. Best regards. Paul
