AMCS,

That's a later pharmacy bottle. You might ask THEM.

"Our History

Fishburne Pharmacy has been a staple business in Waynesboro for over 132 years, having the honor of being the oldest continuing business in the city.

Fishburne’s filled it’s first prescription on January 1st, 1879. It had been operated as a general merchandising store dating back to around the Civil War.

It was originally operated by a gentleman named “Doc†Myers before being joined by Pharmacists C.G. and Pliny Fishburne, thereby creating Myers & Fishburne.

Later it became commonly known as Fishburne’s, Fishburne Drugstore, Fishburne & Son, Fishburne & Son Drugstore, ultimately becoming Fishburne & Son Pharmacists-Professional Pharmacy.

Waynesboro pharmacist Walter Hickok, purportedly a descendant of “Wild Bill†Hickok, bought the “drug store†from the Fishburne family and owned it for about 40 years.

On May 1st, 1981 he sold it to David Garber, who has continued it under the Fishburne name to the present date.

It is unknown exactly how many prescriptions have been filled since 1879, but a presentation print was bestowed many decades ago commemorating over 2 million.

The original location was on South Wayne Avenue until occupying the northwest corner of Main Street and Wayne Avenue where it became a congregating place for the “locals†for decades.

A big draw was a marble base fountain and booths serving sandwiches and sodas, and reknowned cherry Cokes and vanilla Cokes and homemade potato salad.

The interior included marble-based glass display cases and beautiful walnut cabinetry and shelving."

It might be worth more if it is really rare. Rarer Delaware pharmacy bottles still sell well with chips. One from my town with a very small chip still sold for over $200. However, I don't know how well Va pharmacy bottles sell and since this one is still in business I doubt it is rare, so Jim is probably right.
