Very interesting medicine bottles/content! :icon_thumleft:

You could display or sell, someone out there may pay big bucks for the small bottle! :dontknow:

I need to know, What did you pay for these. this is true treasure. I bet only a handful of these exist unmolested

And a 2nd question... How did you come into possession of these or find where ever they were purchased from.

Of all the things i have seen on T-Net im super absorbed by this, haha.

A guy down the road from me has a Huge yard sale every summer . He owns Nobleboro Antique Exchange (a group shop) & he is an auctioneer at Thomaston Place Auction Gallery . I made a pile , and it was $30.00 for everything . I got over 100 Maine topo maps , several pounds of antique keys , several antique clock pendulums , 3 old hatchets , 12 pairs of antique eyeglasses , an antique French pillar clock , 31 old thimbles (1 is sterling ) the medicine bottles & other stuff . If you do the math , they weren't much .
