early
BEAUTIFUL AQUA GLASS BOTTLE ABOUT 6 3/4" TALL
told issued in in the late 1800s era... which says "
E. C. DEWITT & CO. -- ONE MINUTE COUGH CURE -- CHICAGO U.S.A
" was originally recovered in San Francisco region of California...but manufactured in Illinois, but came out of a western collection
This bottle is simply all about the look....it is just very crude...note the closeups of
the
neck and lip
THIS IS JUST A SPECTACULAR SPECIMEN.....GREAT COLOR......LOVE THE NECK...LOVE THE MOLD LINES IN THE LIP.......GREAT COLOR
ORIGINAL OWNER DISPLAYED THIS WITH MEDICINE BOTTLES....I WOULD CLASSIFY AS A "QUACK MEDICINE".........THE EMBOSSING IS SUPER CRISP....NEAT BOTTLE
THIS REALLY DISPLAYS WELL, DOES NOT EVEN NEED A CLEANING....PLEASE USE MY EXTENSIVE PICTURES AS A DESCRIPTION OF THIS BOTTLE
These old quack medicine "cure" bottles were issued long before the "pure food and drug act"..and made unsubstantiated claims....like this bottle likely held booze...and it claimed to be a "one minute cough cure"....yeah, see how that works out...."hey dear, give junior another tablespoon of laudanum....he's very fussy tonight"....
THIS IS A BELIEVED TOUGHER TO FIND IN THIS CHOICE CONDITION....IT WAS MADE IN MIDWEST, BUT CAME OUT OF A WESTERN BOTTLE COLLECTION WHERE ORIGINAL OWNER COLLECTED THE BEST OF THE BEST....HOPING YOU CAN TELL HOW NICE THIS ONE IS FROM MY AVERAGE PICTURE TAKING ABILITY :)...THIS IS A GREAT BOTTLE, HAS BEEN SITTING ON A SHELF FOR MANY YEARS....IT IS GORGEOUS....I JUST WIPED THE DUST OFF
I have inspected this bottle, seems really nice..glass is very nice...super crude and funky lip and neck, (see gallery)...Can find no cracks, chips, or damage,
it is a real beauty....displays very well.....it is a vibrant AQUA color glass, and stands 6 3/4" tall (took photo next to six inch ruler) ..this bottle is very dense and thick glass...it is very heavy
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles.
All my bottles are carefully packed in bubble wrap and oversized rigid box to make sure they get to you as you see them :)
Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!!
Tangible assets are always the best ones
