Hello. I am new to Treasurenet. I am a long time South Carolina Dispensary bottle collector. Your finds are impressive. I enjoy meeting fellow collectors. I would like to talk with you and see if it would be possible to visit with you. Thanks.

Hey landsurvey,

Welcome to TNet. South Carolina Dispensaries are most collectible. They do have substantial value, if in excellent condition. You seem to be pointing to large cylindrical examples.

Robert, the OP, is a legendary digger, but he's not been back to TNet since 2011.

I'd encourage you to post some good photos of the example that you found, taken in natural light, please. Detail the embossing, the lip & neck, and the base, if you would.

They're Hall of Fame bottles to many.
