I bought some bottles at an auction about a month ago. Would anyone know the value on something like this? It's slim Pickens on the web, very little information. Thanks

It seems the KKK Medicine Company was based in Keokuk, IA, and they mostly marketed to the surrounding states - I can find ads on Newspapers.com in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Illinois. The earliest of these begin to appears around 1907, and last into the 1990s.

Here's an ad, from the LOC: (far left of the first page) https://tile.loc.gov/storage-servic...ta/sn83025182/00295877327/1911083102/0028.pdf

And from a Facebook group about Keokuk, IA history is this picture (it states you have to log in, but I did not have to):

I assume your bottles are like the ones at the bottom. If so, the only real value would be in the labels, and their conditions. Even then, extract bottles are some of the most common bottles to find.
