That mark on the glass began in 1875 but your bottle is probably 20th century. If the mold seam run all the way to the top edge of the lip, then it is likely post 1920. Bob,

The bottle is marked P.D & Co. 37A .I figure this is a medicine bottle and is quite old. Can you tell me what year it dates and any other info.

It is modeled after the 19th century Dr. Fish's Bitters which is quite valuable. Your bottle is worth perhaps $5-10 in average condition and a bit more if it has a nice clean intact label and cap.

The fish shaped bottle was found in a long-dead doctor's old office and most probably at one time contained cod liver oil. Does anyone have a value for this old bottle?

There is a decent market for midcentury modern items these days. You could auction them online yourself although it is a bit of work. Contact me directly for suggestions on auction houses or galleries. Actually, I don’t think that USPS Priority Mail shipping from PR to the US would be that expensive.

What is the best way of doing it? Do you have any suggestions? I am located in San Juan Puerto Rico, so shipping is an obstacle. Also I have a lot of Tapio Wirkala and Wegners signed pieces. Is there a good antique store that would be interested in Scandinavian and Danish glasses. Thank you so much. I am looking to sell a lot of 1950s 60s hand blown glass items.
