Some old bottles...worth anything?

[CJTomlinson]

Hi! We recently bought like 60 old bottles at a flea market. I am wondering if any of them are worth anything? I do know that Pre-1900 bottles don't have the mold seam going up through the lip of the bottle and After-1900 ones do. All of these bottles have seam lines through the lip, so they are apparently AFTER 1900 bottles. Here are some measurements and info:

Made in USA bottle (nothing written on front, back or bottom): 5 1/16"
Febriline Trademark bottle: 4 1/4"
Bottle with concentric circles: 4 9/16"
Smaller J.R. Watkins bottle: 6 1/8"
Larger J.R. Watkins bottle: 7 13/16"
National Remedy Company New York bottle: 5 3/8"
Pinex Trademark bottle (Light aqua color): 5 13/16"
Rawleigh's Trademark bottle (Bottom of bottle says "Bottle made in USA"): 6 1/8"
Hall's Catarrh Medicine bottle: 4 3/16"
Dr. W.B. Caldwell's Laxative Senna: 6 15/16"
Mc Connon & Co. Winona, Minn.: 7 1/8"

thats a nice collection there
yes some bottles can get quite expensive
if you type your bottle into ebay or something similar you will get an idea of value
the other way is to buy a bottle book,this lists the most common and some real expensive
good luck

Your bottles are very common meds from the 1915-30 period mostly, nothing in that group is worth more than a $1-2 and aren't sought after by seasoned collectors. People like to buy them cheap and display them in their bathrooms around the medicine cabinet....
