Dana's Sarsaparilla
I was fishing along the Merrimack river in NH yesterday and came across a Dana's Sarsaparilla bottle laying on the shore. The bottle is fully intact without a mark on it.
After a little research, it looks like it was made in the late 1800's. Could it be worth something? If so, how much do you think? Thanks for your help.

Not sure at all, I'd say check fleBay...maybe there is osmething there but I didn find this tidbit of info...
" Dana's Sarsaparilla, Kilgore and Wilson, Belfast, 1888 " A year after this trademark was registered, G.C. Kilgore and others organized the Dana Sarsaparilla Company. By 1891 they had built a five-floor factory for $17,000, each floor measuring 26,600 square feet; and were employing 35 people. It was said that Dana's Sarsaparilla "wrought many wonderful cures." found the info here... Maine State Archives:

Very nice old bottle! The old cure-all medicine bottles are good ones to find. As to worth it would depend. To a collector of that type of bottle $10-20 bucks? That is a guess but at an auction with 2 people wanting it it could go higher?
Nice find by the way. Good job on seeing it, Beale.
