Gardiner's Compound Boston - 10/1/2008 2:17:09 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5161 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Here is a fairly uncommon bottle I got off fleabay recently. GARDINER'S RHEUMATIC AND NEURALGIA COMPOUND. BOSTON, MASS.  This is a hinge mold smooth base, there are also pontil marked versions. There isnt much to be found on this guy. Baldwin lists it as Chas. F Gardiner advertised around the Civil War. In the 1862 Boston city directry I found Henry R Gardiner listed as a proprietor for rheumatic compound. Both men were listed at same address so I assume they were relatives both in the patent medicine bussiness. If anyone else has info on it I'd like to hear it.
