Weekend finds

[Bixel]

Here are a couple weekend flea market buys. The square amber bottle on the left, I am not sure as to wether it is real, or a repro. It looks old with the mold line, and even some bubbles in the bottle, as well as overpour on the lip, but it just looks too.... good. I dont know if anybody else has ever had that before too. It is embossed "Himalya, The Kola Compound, Natures cure for asthma, New York, Cincinnati" Im doubting it is real, I only paid 2 bucks for it, so if it is real, how rare is it? Im guessing not very. The second bottle on the left is just a nice aqua pumpkin seed flask. Nice a crude, with a fair amount of bubbles. I also got it for 2 bucks, and the are both sparking! Let me know what you think, sorry for the bad pic.

OK, really just want to know if the Himalya bottle is a known repro bottle. It does not have any marks on the base. It does have a small amount of staining on the inside too. If it is legit, what is the value and rarity?

It is real but and was made with Gotu Kola which is an herb from India but that is about all I can find.

Thanks for the info Cap. I was able to find the listing for my bottle on an internet cure bottle list, as well as find a Kovels listing for it from 1995, at which time they listed it as a $65 dollar bottle. Dont know if thats a correct price or not. With Kovels, I have no idea.
