It's the thrill of the hunt...

I agree...best to be outdoors even when not finding anything...

I love old bottles......
the only time I care about what they are worth is when I am trying to purchase one..... (LOL).

I have a bottle that is still in the box and has the labels on the bottle about 3/4th full of dark liquid. Also has papers inside w 6 other languages besides English. labeled: "Severa's soothing drops for infants and children." clear bottle w screw top.

What I'd like to know is: what was the liquid made of?

Howdy Marie,

Welcome to this place. May I suggest taking several good photos, and creating a new thread in What is it Before, or New to the Collection. Those soothing drops were often pretty high octane.

No hijack intended but it's a shame they seamed to have not stuck around. It could have made a great thread in a different place. Pic of an 1902 Texas paper ad.

It's all about history (#3) for me, specifically the history of the American West.

I chose 1,3,5, and 9. I have to admit though if you had had the digging versus buying category, I would have selected that too. To me digging for bottles is like treasure hunting, you don't know what you will dig next, and has the same thrill as pulling out a box of gold coins[], well maybe not quite, but real close. I would prefer to dig a rare bottle with some condition problems as opposed to buying a mint condition one. I have actually kept bottles I've dug in rough condition , and passed on better ones. They just mean more to me somehow.
