[Metalfury]

Here are pics of 3 of the bottles I've found recently...these are after they've been cleaned up somewhat....

This first one is a Borden's milk that is kinda ribbed? I've never seen one before, is it pretty common?

A Google search provides this piece of info from Digger O'Dell:


Radway's[/b] Ready Relief was a pain killer and nervine. It is an old brand first produced about 1848 by Richard Radway[/b] who formed the company J. & R. G. Radway[/b] & Co. By 1877, the business, still owned by the Radway[/b] family, changed the company name to Radway[/b] & Company. In 1924 the family filed for a trademark registration for "RADWAY[/b] RRR[/b]" for a preparation for the treatment of dyspepsia, indigestion, heartburn, constipation and similar ailments. The diseases for which they advertised the medicine changed after the passage of the 1906 Food and Drug Act. The value depends upon the age, pontiled specimens bring in the $30-40 range while early smooth based bottles might fetch $15-20.
