Hi all..I'm new to this site. I recently acquired a box of old medicine bottles that have the contents in them. I'm trying to research each bottle not having much luck. Maybe I'm not using the right wording. I was wondering if anyone has any information on any of these bottles. I was also wondering is there a collectible market for the bottles with their contents? I hope you can see the pictures. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

While I am not very experienced with medicine bottles, judging by them being cork tops I would say they are probably 20s or older at least. Having the labels and the original contents definitely helps their value. I know a collector the specializes in just Bromo seltzers so theres gotta be a market for what you got.

Thank you..now I just need to find the right collector. ☺

Most of those bring the bigger money to local collectors, but value I would say $20-$100+ per bottle

I'm afraid the bottles you have, though with some age (1900-1920 or so) are not of much demand and likely have a value around $5 each with perhaps one or two exceptions that might be more like $10. If they had the value the last poster noted I'd be a millionaire haha.

I agree that most of the paper label medicines have around a $5-$10 value. I was stating that some paper label medicines to the right local collectors can go up to $100

Well, all this information is very helpful and I thank you all. I have someone interested in buying them thinking $5 a bottle, would that be reasonable?
