BLUE RIBBON MEDICINE BOTTLES

RECENTLY FOUND AND AM HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING THE VALUE TO. WOULD LIKE TO SE;LL

Item Description:
The collection includes PC Blue Ribbon Quality Purity Medicine Bottles from the 1880s-1920s. These bottles have Roman numerals on the back, indicating measurement capacities. The medium-sized bottle holds 60cc, while the larger bottle holds 200cc. They have a cork top and are in good condition

Historical Significance:
These bottles were likely used for medicinal purposes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Blue Ribbon branding was often associated with high-quality products in pharmaceuticals and household goods during this period. The use of cork tops suggests they predate screw-top closures, which became more common in the early 20th century.

Estimated Value:
The value of PC Blue Ribbon Medicine Bottles depends on several factors, including condition, rarity, embossing clarity, and demand among collectors. Similar embossed pharmaceutical bottles from this period typically range in value from $15 to $75 per bottle. The larger 200cc size may fetch a higher price due to its rarity.

Recommendations:
For a more precise valuation, consider consulting a professional appraiser or an antique bottle specialist. If the bottles have unique embossing, an auction house or specialized collector’s market could yield a higher appraisal. Additionally, verifying their origin (such as a known pharmacy or manufacturer) may increase their collectible value.
