Quack cure or ?

We've hit this farm dump in the Poconos area where we live and found several half decent blobs and some pottery jugs. The dump was off an old railroad bed and bulldozed onto a pile away from the bank possibly to clean up what would be an eye sore. I'd say 99% of the stuff is from the 40's and 50's so it hard to keep digging there. We 're trying to finish it up to get it off our backs. There is some local milks and some old blobs mixed in here and there. Dick Yuengling and Kaiers blobs are showing up and a nice Peter Yannes from Wilkes Barre are some of the finds. One particular Med or misc. showed up I found interesting. Has anyone in the group ever dug or have any information on this bottle.

i've never seen it before but it's a cool pa. medicine,did you come across any green lane, or perkiomenville bottles???

 

[atdadump]

I have two bottles that were given to me by a close friend who I go ice fishing with. One is a clear crown and the other is an aqua squat blob. The friend lives near Green Lane and most likely has the largest collection of green lane bottles in the area.

so what are these perkiomenville bottles worth?

Hey Steve, The Oil Of Gladness bottles are listed in Matt Knapp's {GuntherHess} book American Antique Medicine Bottles . The aqua is listed at $9 and the clear at $22.

Hey Matt, It depends on how she rubs it on ya.

WOW....thats a neat one!

 

[atdadump]

Green Lane or Perkioming seem to hit around $35-50 at the bottle shows depending on color and rarity. I have the run of the mill bottle books, Kovels,Polak,Megura and Cleveland. Is this GuntherHess book alot more advanced or revised than the ones I have, Where can I get one?

Atdadump, I often dig the Moyer’s from Bloomsburg around here. They are pretty common but come with all different kinds of embossing and different shapes. Sometimes you can get up to $15 for the different varieties. You said you were digging Kaiers bottles and I was wonder if you had found any emerald green hutches or blobs from the brewery?

My digging partner hit the streak with most of the blobs in one small area. I know he found one emerald green blob from Kaiers, but i think it had some damage. I know it wasn't mint. If i get over to his house I'll post a picture. I don't think he would part with it either way. Is there colored Dick Yuenglings around other than clear or aqua?
