Again, your information is so very much appreciated. Dating is an important factor as the story behind this collection is a multi-generational one.
The elderly couple that live in my small town know nothing about how to value or sell this collection.
I'm doing them a favor helping them to proceed, with no money involved.
The husband is the nephew of Dr. Jean (Millar) Kilborn, who was the daughter in law of Dr. Retta Kilborn, a Canadian protestant missionary who worked with her husband Dr. Omar Kilborn from late 19th century to 1933 at the West China Union University in Chengdu, a hospital and college facility at that time.
As the owners have very little information about how these bottles were acquired, only that they were brought back to Canada during the 1940s, I am wondering if some of them belonged to the older Kilborns.
This matters as you understand I'm sure. I will follow your advice and check the other source of information.
