Found a few bottles today. I think this one is the best. I've never found one like it.

"JNO SULLIVAN"
"PHARMACIST"
"BOSTON"

Any guess on age or value? Post the rest later.

Thanks,
-Andy

Killer milk glass, I would guess age 1890's, I have no idea of value though. What is the condition Andy? Any embossed milk glass is usually pretty high priced from what i have seen. I have only dug shards of the stuff, so I think the bottle kicks asssssss![]

Didn't even have to work for it. Looked down and there it was. It made my day.

It is in great condition, I'll have to try to clean it well. Dirt shows up easily on white glass.

Hi Digginfool,
JNO SULIVAN one of the few milkglass pharmacist bottles I know of from New England. Not many around, I dug mine in midcoast Maine. Pretty much same as yours except has "63 TREMONT ST, COR BEACON" mine has W.T.& CO on base. From seam looks to be 1890's. Probably brought to Maine by a tourist back then. There was an article on milk glass bottles a while ago in the Bpttles and Glass Magazine a while ago but just mentioned JNO Sullivan Bottle but no other info on it.
