The Mother Seigel's Syrup Co Bottle

[tonye80919]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any information on this bottle. I found information on the company itself but I can't find any bottles that have sold or been up for sale recently on the internet. What I found out was that The Mother Seigel's Syrup was a type of cure all elixir if I'm not mistaken. I'm mainly wondering the rarity and value of the bottle. Like I said, I have found no other bottles like it on the internet. The only markings on the bottle are "The Mother Seigel's" on one side and "Syrup Co" on the other side. There are no other markings on the bottle. It appears to be hand blown or made? I am quite an amateur when it comes to glass and bottles but I am very intrigued by collecting and picking for bottles such as these that look really old. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I can't help you, it's not listed in Matt Knapp's wonderful book. That probably means it is scarce to rare to very rare. That doesn't mean it's worth a lot of money, it's not an outstanding looking bottle but it could just as easily be worth a lot. Jim

Very nice bottle! Looks like it was made in New York and London. Here is some info: http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1298297 https://books.google.com/books?id=9YuhmEB5kCwC&pg=PA92&dq=The+Mother+Seigel%27s&hl=en&sa=X&ei=VlPoVPbwGYzEgwTzhYSoCw&ved=0CEoQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=The%20Mother%20Seigel's&f=false

looks like a three in one oil . I may have found one and left it at the dig.
