Excellent find! It's one thing to find a single bottle, but to find a set of three of the same company & type of design in all different sizes is stupendous!

Can someone give me a ballpark figure on price? Gotten some PM's from forum members and I want to be fair but not give them away. I really have no idea what they're worth.

I wouldn't take less than $200. Put them on ebay and see what they bring if you want the top dollar for them. Just one like that from Texas usually brings $400 - $600, but I'm sure teal colored NY drugstores command about 1/4 of that. Those bottles are an excellent score by the way especially with the original stoppers. Way to go and good eye. Keep it up. Robert

They are in mint condition and are a nice set with stoppers and all. Druggists arent my specialty so i would see what they bring on ebay if you set a high reserve first.

Jane,
Not sure about what the price is on these either but like KB said I would put it on Fleabay with a high reserve of your choice and see what the bidders do as you can always re-list it if they don't hit the mark or pull them if they don't to get a better idea. Also not sure of what some of the other forum members are offering so I would not want to comment on an amount. I know if I had the cash right now what I would offer you but again since I do not I won't say an amount.
I think using Ebay as a measuring stick is solid advise when you don't have any other way to measure the value. Regardless I love the color and embossing and the fact that these have all the stoppers which from what they look like and your description makes them even more desirable!! Great finds!! That Ravenna anchor flask is sweet too! Love to see some pics of them in natural light! Good luck no matter what you decide to do with them! HH Ace

Small one has a tiny lip flake, the rest are mint. The stoppers are all mint.
