Default Bottle

The other day I found a bottle that has the words The J.R. Watkins.co on it and its stands approximately 8 inches tall. Can anybody tell me the age and value of this bottle? On the bottom it has a raised number 8



Thanks

Default Watkin's

WATKIN'S MEDICAL COMPANY made two different kinds of medicine bottles. One was clear and approx 8" tall and square. It is valued at approx. $5.00 on today's market. The other was approx. 6" tall, square and purple. It is valued at approx. $4.00 on the market. The bottles were mfg. during the early 1900's....PAPPY
