    old medicine and one gallon coke bottle...but are they worth anything ;)

    Newbie here again looking for some wisdom from TN'ers. Found a large cache of bottles, mostly old soda and milk, but the most interesting were these. Found this old medicine bottle in a velvet lined box, unfortunately or fortunately the contents had eaten it's way through the rubber stopper and destroyed the box. The bottle is about 5 inches across with a seam and about 10 inches tall. The coke bottle was also found, however, I cannot find any reference to a 1 gallon coke bottle, perhaps I just don't know where to look. Still trying to recoup some costs on my on going house restoration, every penny counts, so I'm wondering if any of you experts might know if these are worth anything. Thanks.

    I'll bet that gallon bottle was used to ship the coke syrup to soda fountains. It has to be worth something, if you can only clean it without damage. Here's a couple links to bottle sites.

    Coca Cola syrup was also used to settle stomachs and stop vomiting . Could be why it was found near medicine bottles.
