Bottle for Epackage & Vet stamps - 6/7/2011 10:30:46 PM    ecotramper412   Posts: 166 Joined: 9/8/2009 From: NYC Suburbs Status: offline This first bottle is a flask I found at a sale this weekend. The pic below is for epackage. Its a H. Munzer & Son's - 199 and 201 Market st. Epackage has a similar flask (amber) but it only says H. Munzer, and 201 Market. I assume this one is from a bit later as the sons started to take over the business. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Bottle for Epackage & Vet stamps - 6/7/2011 10:38:42 PM    ecotramper412   Posts: 166 Joined: 9/8/2009 From: NYC Suburbs Status: offline I bought these in the same lot as the fire bomb I posted last week (along with a few bottles, though nothing too unique). Figured since I was posting the bottle I might as well show these off too. I thought these were neat, and that someone somewhere would be interested. I bought 3 veterinarian stamps: Dr. Odum, from Mobile Alabama. One is from his animal hospital, another is just his name, and the last his from a stint in the military. Any idea on age of these things? I picked up two NC druggist stamps too. Attachment (1) (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 3

My favorite is a Damania: The Great Sexual Tonic - quite risky for the age (i dont have photos). Below is a little liver pills box Attachment (1) (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 5

However, when I got home and saw all the crap I bought I decided to move some of these things along. The bottle from the lot included 2 english looking poisons, a black draught, and two eye wash meds. Gotta love road trips! All of these (minus the flask) were found during a weekend surfing trip south. Attachment (1) (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 6

The black draught is probably a veterinary medicine...I don't know if they gave human black draught. I would love to see a picture of that one.. _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign. (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 7

Bost: I haven't had any luck finding him, but I think you're right on the Veterinary Corps. Below is his USAF stamp, stationed in OK. I didn't notice the VC until your suggestion, thanks! I wonder if his family is still around? I'm guessing these are pre-1940s.... think thats a fair assessment? Attachment (1) (in reply to bostaurus) Post #: 9

I also got a Bridgeville De stamp, but it only has the guys name and the town. If anyone is interested in seeing a pic, let me know! The vet stamps are going to end up on ebay, but if anyone is interested, let me know! The drug stamps are already up - I don't usually post stuff I intend to sell on here, but thought these were unique enough! Attachment (1) (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 17

RE: Bottle for Epackage & Vet stamps - 6/8/2011 12:10:17 AM    ecotramper412   Posts: 166 Joined: 9/8/2009 From: NYC Suburbs Status: offline Thanks for letting me show of the finds! Let me know if you want more pics of something. I just pulled the eye wash bottles out again: A John R. Dickeys Old Reliable Eye Wash (screw top), and a Dr Thompsons Eye Water, New London, Conn. They're both small round bottles, so they don't photograph too nicely. The Dr. Thompsons has a lip chip. (in reply to ecotramper412) Post #: 19

"Highly recommended for loss of manhood." I'm assuming that this is a gentile way of saying that it allegedly treats impotency. I can't imagine that there was a large number of potential clients who had suffered tragic tree climbing accidents and had an actual loss of manhood. Either way, though, the 20 % alcohol must have made you feel like a man.
