Hey Wendy...

That's a nice looking Maine med... makes me think about jumping into the Saco River for some bottle diving[&:]

That's a very rare medicine. The only one I see listed was in the Greer collection. I would guess its value would be about $150 in undamaged condition. Proprietary medicines that dont advertised a product dont have as much market appeal even though they may be rare.

That's actually considered a tapered lip.

Once again...I do appreciate the info...And Wayne ...have you ever checked out the Saco....there must be more than 2 of these around..I would kinda like one without the chip..hint..
And I actually do know the lip is flared....I mean tapered ...I think...I just type without thinking sometimes...well, alot..
