bottle id/value

[antlerman23]

i got these bottles at a flea market last weekend, and i know what the all are, but do any of them have value beyond the $2-$3 i paid for them?
The first bottle is embossed CITRATE MAGNESIA, has an applied finish, and is a cup bottom mold.
the next bottle is embossed "PROPERTY OF MILLER BREWING CO MILWAUKEE" on the front and "THIS BOTTLE IS NEVER SOLD" on the back, and "A B Co" on the bottom. it has a tooled finish and it is either a key mold or post bottom mold. i cant tell. ill let you decide.
the next bottle is embossed "Orange Crush 7 FL OZ" on the front and "PAT'D JULY 20, 1920 ORANGE-CRUSH CO BOTTLE. it is machine made and has the owens illinois mark on the bottom with a 9 on the left and a 7 on the right. so 1937, right?
and the last bottle has no embossing, an applied finish, and is a round bottom bottle.

You've already answered all of the easy questions - and yes, A.B. Co liked using post molds for some reason.

The hard question is value - and there is no solid answer - except of course when you've made a sale and the money is in your hand! Right now they are worth $2-$3 because that's what you were willing to pay for them. On eBay you might do better - or worse!

I personally like the Citrate of Magnesia - especially with the wire bale still attached! I wouldn't sell it for less than $20 if it was in my collection - but then I'm not offerring to buy it for that either.......
