5.25" "By January 1881, Bain was the proprietor of the North End Drug Store, located opposite the V & T Railroad passenger depot. He rarely advertised in local newspapers, only three ads were found in local papers for his store, the first appearing in 1881 and the last in 1886…This rare, clear drug bottle has only one plain pattern in at least four different sizes..It is extremely rare in mint condition. There are perhaps only 10 Bain bottles known today. None have sold at auction, resulting in an uncertainty in pricing."
