The E. K. THOMPSON bottle may be a local bottle from Titusville PA. He had a drug store back in the late 1800 early 1900. Search E K Thompsom Titusville PA. Don. PS: Do you have any Corry PA. bottle?

That particular Gump whiskey isnt listed in the Baltimore bottle book I have. There are a couple similar ones that are listed as "uncommon". That style of whiskey bottle is common from Baltimore.
The Ely's bottle is very common, not much value.
Dont think I've seen one of those little Pepsikola bottles. There was large number of little similar stomach pills out at the end of the 19th century.
The Thompson worm powder is pretty uncommon and probably the best of the four in my opinion.

I guess the sweet worm powder was for the worms desert.I think I will start selling tape worms on T.V. as a way for us fatties to lose weight. The ELY'S bottle is common ,but I like them!

GREAT DIGGINS!! I really like the Sweet Worm Powder !! The "GUMP" whiskey is really nice too!
Also, the "Indian" screen name you have is super too! "DIGSWITHSTICK", LOL!!

Nice bottles! I'm selling a bottle on Ebay from Chattanooga that says distiller like that Gump Whiskey. Hate to sell it but I am jobless at moment.

Nice bottles, I have a half pt & pint in a slightly different version of that Gump bottle, mines Gordon rye, I've never seen that whiskey version before. Could be rare? Thanks for sharing.
