Philadelphia Horseshoe Soda/Atlanta Medicine

[MedBottle1]

Hey everyone, I was in a local antique store here in Georgia and came across this Horseshoe Philadelphia bottle. It says: RegisteredJ.O.S. Harrington??? -52 Rising Sun Ave or LanePhilada Does anyone know the age of this and what it contained? The guy is asking $11 for it. Also, I picked up this Atlanta Druggist bottle today for $6. It had the cork in it but I cut it out to wash out the insides. It was caked with old nasty medicine that smelled like burnt Coca-Cola :O HAHAH!

The Harrington bottle probably held soda or beer & it looks like a good one. Its not listed HERE

Do you think it would be worth $11? I really have never seen this style before so if its a good buy i'll go get it tomm.

The horseshoe and street name could appeal to a few collectors. If the top is missing there's no real value.[]

"In the 1880 U.S. Census, Joseph and Abby were living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and he was an "ostler."
Horseshoe and someone that works with horses. Yup, a bit far fetched but that was 1880 census.

Does it have a blob top, a crown top, or any top? []

I believe it had a crown top.
