J.H. Harte Montreal amber medicine

[RIBottleguy]

I just bought this bottle as part of a collection, and was wondering if it has any rarity or value. I don't know much about Canadian bottles so any info would help. Thanks!

I don't know anything about it but there is people from Quebec who collect Montreal/Quebec bottles , think there is even a small website about Quebec bottles , although I can't remember its name off hand or sure how current it be

I collect cross-Canada drugstore bottles. I'd be interested in the bottle.

All I can tell you is that it's sure looks great.

This is of the style called Homeopathic. Small square base amber bottles. Boericke & Runyon were one of the best known in the U.S. I would think this would appeal to Canadian collectors rather than U.S. collectors.

I dunno, Lord, this deep South boy would proudly put that one on my shelf.

That's a nice one! I'm surprised to learn that it's a pharmacy bottle, it doesn't look like your average Canadian pharmacy bottle. It certainly has some value, not sure how much though. I've still never gotten around to going to the Montreal bottle show so I'm not sure what the collecting market for Montreal pharmacy bottles is like.

Sure is a great little bottle and would make a great addition to anyone's collection.

I assure you it is a nice addition. Tip of my hat to Taylor McB!!! Thanks for making this collector very happy!!!
