Orcutt's sure rheumatic cure

found this as well as a bunch of other great bottles about two feet down in my buddys backyard recently. The only thing I could find about it was a pdf with the patent date and someone on another forum asking for pictures of the bottle. Apparently it is extremely rare. I have not cleaned it thoroughly yet but it is in mint condition and looks amazing.

Beautiful cobalt bottle. Wouldn't surprise me if it's rare (and worth a pretty penny). Cobalt meds are hard to come by. Great find!

Hear, hear, JOliver,

Welcome to TNet & thanks for showing this delightful bottle. I could use a slug about now. 8-)

That's quite the notable debut find!

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the info on the Orcutt's. Cant believe how much it is worth (had someone offer me $500 for it!) but I dont sell dug bottles as they become sentimental to me. Here is a full picture of some of the nicer stuff I found on the dig as well as a photo of the Orcutts after cleaning. IMG_1078.jpg IMG_1085.jpg IMG_1099.jpg

You know, I understand your feelings, but for $500!!! That thing would have been out my door!

It's certainly worth $500, maybe a little more. The Little Rhody price was an asking price. If it was sold privately it would have an (s) next to the value, and auction (a) next to it. It appears it didn't sell for the asking price. I know two sold fairly recently. I'll have to ask some cure collectors what they went for so I can give you a better idea of the value.
BTW, that Geyser mineral water isn't bad either!
