- Antique
- Early example! circa Pre-1910.
- Original Label!
- These were most common in the 1910s-1930s and even produced into the 1940s.
- They came in rectangular or oval medicine-style bottle, typically 3–6 inches tall.
- This one, however, is 7" T and in an earlier bottle... it's a very early example.
- No chips, no cracks, please note the white residue to the right of the label and black sand in the glass on the backside of the bottle.
- I package well and ship out daily!
