While cleaning out my boss's 20-year-old crumbling trailer I came across an old case that had some old medicine bottles in them. The first one says Hook's and it has a label in almost perfect conditon. There is a date stamped on it that reads 11/13/37/. The other says Pearson Drug Co. and is stamped 10-3-44. The label is in almost perfect condition as well. Any idea how much these are worth? Thanks in advance!
 

I'm not a bottle guy but I do keep the old cork top bottles I find. I'm sure a bottle expert on the forum will stop by in a while. Stand by.
 

Not too much value. I do like the labels. But they are post 1900 so I would say a few bucks to a collector with sentimental value about Pearson and the Hooks. Regards. Jgas.
 

I like the old Paper Label Medicine Bottles.
along with the Embossed locals.

But that's pretty Much the Thing.

Gotta find someone Local to the area The Bottles Came from,
or relatives of the Dr.s in order to to get the Full Value.
