Swayne's Panacea Full Medicine Bottle Value??

edited September 2015 in Question and Answer
Hey everybody! I typically collect vintage sports memorabilia, but I picked up a big lot of old medicine bottles at the last auction I went to and found this in there. Couldn't find any that sold on eBay and it seems like from what I read online that it is pretty rare. Of course I know rarity doesn't always translate to value, so I'm asking here what you guys think it might be worth. It's 100% full!

Thanks!

  • Hi Derek

    This is a later clear example of the Swains medicine which is a different animal than the earlier Swain bottles found in olive green and other colors.

    The bottle also appears to not have embossing, correct?

    The label is definitely a plus and to some extent, the contents. Some collectors would like to see the contents.

  • Hey Chris thanks for the reply! And you are correct, no embossing. do you think 1910's-1920's? I know the rest of the bottles I found were right around then and I read Swayne's went out of business in the 1920's. Any idea on a good selling price?
