Antique Medicine Bottle
I found an antique medicine bottle from 1845, and I need an appraisal?
It is brown, and on the side it says:
MILS
250
200
150
100
50
The cap is a silver color that has a circle with a line through it on the top. The bottom says 1845. The cap is slightly coroded. It still has medicine in it, it doesn’t look used. I had discovered it in my family’s old house, which had been abandoned for about 50 years.
I found a book on antique medicine bottles online, but didn’t want to spend $35 for something that I will only use once. Any help will be appriciated. 10 points for best answer.
Obviously a medicine bottle (graduations in milileters). You say from 1845, but if it has a cap (instead of a stopper), I don’t think it is that old. Usually bottles of this type are not too valuable, but there are exceptions. For instance old laudanum bottles are worth quite a bit (it was a narcotic). Rather than spend that much money on a book, check out old bottles on E-bay. There are so many on sale on E=bay, you are more apt to find yours there than you are in the book, anyway.
