Hey! That's Harley's hand! lol She was unable to post the pics so she e-mailed them to me and I posted them for her. Can anyone help her out with this bottle? oh, by the way, Roger, you really do a nice job fixing up our photos for us.

Quick comment while breaking from answering e-mails (still have more to go!).

Cantrell's Ague Mixture Philadelphia is a different Cantrell. The original photos represent a much better bottle than the usual Cantrell & Cochran torpedo bottle, but I can't even guess at the value, just don't know, but I've seen only a couple over my many years of this.
