Antique Questions Forum / Re: Evaluation of an old pharmaceutical bottle

« on: July 09, 2014, 12:56:11 am »

Like Mart said, it looks to be newer with the label being in such good condition, and the cap being plastic. I had an incident a couple of years ago with a glass bottle of DDT and the plastic cap breaking on me when I was moving a milk crate of chemicals. My hand was numb for a while. What I quickly learned is that while the bottle was glass and looked quite old, that plastic cap was a dead giveaway that it was closer to the 1960s or 1970s in age.

Like Mart said, not as valuable as you might think. Brunswick was a high end company though, so it might be worth closer to the $200 mark rather than the $150, but that all depends on finding someone that wants it.

I have no idea on this at all. I would venture a guess that it is Chinese though judging from the rather "squarish" properties of the writing.

BSA (the British motorcycle company) dabbled in the sprockets during that era as well. Such as this one...

I made a typo in my last post. I mention to say 48 degrees. Trust me, I am a wuss when it comes to cold. A sad, pathetic wuss.

35?! I was crying the blues last night when it was hovering around 48 degrees! We Californians are spoiled like that.

That seems fair. You may have gotten a bit of deal on it at that price. But nothing too drastic.

Not enough room in it for a Les Paul, but if you took apart a Strat, it would store nicely.

Hey there R&RR !!  How are things out your way ??

Busy. Layoffs at work (I haven't been hit yet). So between working eighty hours a week, job hunting, and training for a new career, I like to take a few minutes and see what's happening in the world of cool old stuff. How goes it your way?

On the west coast, it would bring $100 tops.

1940s to 1960s. It is probably stamped "India Brass" on the bottle?

A client of mine just gave me a stack of them today to sell on eBay for him. Your other option besides eBay is through a coin shop. The only way to get full top dollar is to have them graded and to sell at a coin show or on a place like eBay.

I appreciate the offer, but there's a chance your kids are close to my age.
