Wanted Illinois Bottles!!!

[Bottleworm]

I would be interested in the 3 med bottles. I love the one with the rolling pin. What condition are all the meds in. I don't collect crown tops or screw tops or milks unless they are from Eureka Illinois. Also what is the size of the economical drug bottle? I have the 1 foot tall one and would like the other sizes. Thanks!

Reads like you have some seltzer bottles there.

The Economical Drug is either a 2 or 3 ounce bottle and I dug it up in Waukegan. I am working about 300 hundred miles from my house so can't look at it for a definitive condition but I think it is good. The Dr. Wm. W. Pearce I dug also and is from the 1890's. It is in good shape. The rolling pin brand from Chicago is also in good condition. I have an unusual med from Chicago that is a Happy Home Blood Purifier. I put it on the bottle forum for some help getting info on it and nobody had seen it before. Maybe there were no Illinois collectors on the site then. I will try to find pics of it.

I've decided to put quite a few Illinois bottles on here. First is the lip/mouth for the Economical Drug. Amber blob from Paul Pohl Brw'g Co. Chicago. It's dirty but a nice looking bottle with lots of bubbles is a free sample E-Z stove polish from Chicago.
