RE: Looking for info on bottles - 1/6/2008 7:31:37 PM    bottlemax   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/6/2008 Status: offline To help with identifying these: 1st picture is 2 - 4 sided bottles is embossed "Prepared By Dr Peter Fahrley & Sons Co Chicago, ILL U.S.A." The bottle on the left is embossed on the back "The Reliable Old Time Preparation for home use" The bottle on the right is embossed on the back "Dr Peter's Kuriko" Picture 2 is 2 Dark green bottles with "Palmer" embossed diagonally across the front. Picture 3 is a light blue (aqua?) blob top with a pontiled base.  The embossing reads "John Wiebelt - No 483 - 1st District" The bottle is slightly irregular in shape and has an air bubble on the inside of the bottle at the base that doesnt appear to be open. Picture 4 is a hutch with the stopper in the neck.  The embossing reads "Charles Windels - Appleton Wis".  It also is very light blue (aqua?).  There is embossing on the bottom "GW".  There is an air bubble in the neck/lip area that could be an open bubble or possible a chip.  There is another bubble on the embossing plate area.
