Dr Hartshorn bitters?? - 7/13/2007 9:31:54 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I have been interested in Hartshorn bottles for a while and was wondering if anyone knew the story behind this repro? Did the label come roughed up like that? Is that the only color? I have heard Crownford was an Italian Co.? http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-MEDICINE-BOTTLE-REPRO-HARTSHORNS-JAUNDICE-BITTERS_W0QQitemZ130132368533QQihZ003QQcategoryZ895QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem They apparently also made some of those funky milk repros... http://cgi.ebay.ca/MILK-BOTTLE-by-CROWNFORD-CHINA-CO_W0QQitemZ110138355813QQihZ001QQcategoryZ10907QQcmdZViewItem And several other bottles I have seen. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/13/2007 9:41:01 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg Post #: 1

I have seen the repros in Amber and Yellow . Most I have seen had perfect labels ( the one you have pictured may have been doctored or just exposed to the elements) . If I am remebering correctly , Crownford made some labeled Warner Safe Cures also . The same or very close in coloration to the repro Hartshorns. < Message edited by BRIAN S. -- 7/13/2007 10:25:22 PM > _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

I saw whiskeyman had some of the repros in his last thread. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 7/14/2007 9:03:11 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to BRIAN S.)
