Old, antique, medicine bottles...

[Arne]

I've collected a few old bottles along the way, and decided to look one up on ebay and the net.. I was surprised that there really is information about:

Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-root Kidney Cure on the net.....

My sample bottle evidently is worth a few bucks (just a few)... but interesting, to me, none-the-less....

Years ago when my son was about 12 yrs old he and his friend found lots of those old bottles in good shape in San Diego's, University Heights area. It seems someone dumped them over the ledge to a canyon and got covered up over the years. Heavy rains must have exposed them, it was a great find for them. Danny

Hey Arne...as a geologist I used to get to do a lot of back in the sticks off roading...I found a Dr. Kilmers bottle about 30 miles south of the Salt Lake basin...kinda sand blasted from the wind and all those years, but complete and intact...mine is rectangular and has a cool kidney shape on the front and a cork top Doug

I was just reading...... brought back some old memories for me. My folks were share cropers and this man who owned the farm was a fiddle player,he had a bottle he kept in his fiddle case. The bottle looked like a small ( 3" ) Fiddle. It was dark brown glass , and I'm not sure what was in it , But I think it was some kind of Oil. He would rub the fiddle with just a touch from the bottle to a small rag he kept in his case from time to time. when I was like 10 years old this man taught me a lot about music and Life..and since then, I have never seen another bottle like that...... gosh , thats some good memories, thanks for bringing those back for me.
