    Description

    RARE Nelson Baker COCAINE Coca & CELERY TONIC Extract - BEAUTIFULLY Toned LABEL
    I have never seen another example and I've been collecting narcotic type bottles since the early 1970s, so I consider this example very rare especially in this fine of original condition.
    Fancy colorful label reads in part "
    COMPOUND EXTRACT OF CELERY - EACH FLUID OUNCE represents COCA, CELERY and other ingredients - 20 GRS (Grains) each NELSON BAKER & CO. DETROIT, MICH.
    "
    Note that COCA is listed as the first ingredient !!!
    Has the original Nelson Baker stamped tin foil seal on top of the opening with an old puncture from the dispenser type pour spout that would have been used to dole out the doses back in the day.
    The dried up contents still have a very sweet rich pungent scent, I will secure some saran wrap around top to preserve the pleasant smell.
    The label is very close to 100%, only a tiny missing bit above the lower Nelson Baker address, that's it - no damage to bottle, absolutely fine example - see photos provided - thanks !!!
    Overall height is about 9 inches, elongated flared neck, about 2-1/2 inches per side. Amber color glass bottle.
    Its an early non ABM bottle, mold blown with a tooled top.
    Heavy thick residue inside the base/bottom portion as liquid has long since evaporated.
    Please, see all photos for condition clarification, my photos are an important part of my description, so view accordingly !!!
    Never have I seen another - so act now, it will not last !!!
    If you have any questions or would like additional photos please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
    Shipping cost is for US buyers only - NO international shipping on this one !!!
    Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK to you on the bidding !!!
