Kilmer bottle question

[geezer39]

I have a green Dr. Kilmers bottle that I think may be a fake. I have photoed it next to my aqua Kilmer bottle. As you can see, the embossing is very faint on the green one. The aqua one has 19.B. on the bottom while the green one has .18A on it. The green one is just under 8" tall and the aqua is 8-1/8" I can't find any info on a green one in any of my books. Any help will be helpful. Pat

The color on the green one is actually is yellowish green. Does'nt show up to well in my photo.

Thanks, Jim. Good to know it's the real deal. Pat

Most of the Kilmer bottles such at these are pretty common , at least so in my area , the color of the one at right is not all that common though . But there has always been something about this particular style bottle that makes it quite desirable to me for some reason .

There seems to be a decent number of common bottles that show up in this nice lime green. I've seen this one, a few Pierce's, Tuttle's Elixir, Ayer's, and Dr. J.A. & F.E. Greene. Now if there was an Ocean Heart Weed in this color...

Man, would I love an Ocean Heart Weed! Those are so neat. Saw one once, but it was out of my price range.

you must be using the wrong books.[]

I have sold a couple of those. There is one on ebay now I beleive.
Its a good bottle , not super rare though. I see the unembossed kidney bottle in light olive green quite often.

Looks like dark citron to me. I love it. Always gives me hope of digging some of the commoners in a highly desirable color. Swiz

Thanks, everyone. My concern was the bottle was a fake because it just didn't look like it had ever been used. Most of my bottles have stains or haze on them and this one just looked too perfect. I want to put some bottles up for sale on this site and sure don't want to put up a fake. Pat
