I this bottle I was looking to see if anyone would know a value and age? It has H.C. Whitmer on one side and on the other side Columbus Indiana. I googled the company and it says they manufactured medicine, cosmetics and spices. Doc?

Thanks.

Brian

It more than likely had paper labels on both (wider) sides. I'm thinking 80-100 years old depending on how far up the neck the seam goes.

Probably not worth more than $4-6 minus the labels. Prices for these on eBay are sometimes 1/2 the price that the postage is or 2-3X what the postage is. I dig this type of bottle up every time I dig just about....so kinda common style in any area/city.
