Status: offline 		Got this off the Feebay the other day. As ya'll might know I collect the Dr. E. Cooper's Magnetic Balm bottles. Up until now all my variations are from New York. This Bottle is embossed Dr. E. C. Balm and is from Sacramento California. They began selling this stuff in California in the late 1860's, but was sold much earlier in New York.

The following ad appeared in the 1858 Sacramento City Directory:

DR. E. COOPER'S UNIVERSAL MAGNETIC BALM
This medicine has in the short space of time
since it's introduction to the public gained a wide and
extended popularity. numerous recommendations of
it's wonderful virtues and efficiency can be given. It is
in fact it's own advertiser. No family or person having
once fairly tested can be found who are willing to be
without it. As a remedy for RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA,
TOOTHACHE, HEADACHES in general, and for all SWELL-
INGS, PAINS, ACHES and SORES, it stands unrivaled. For
CRAMPS, COLIC and CHOLERA MORBUS, it has never
been known to fail.
In DYSENTERY and DIARRHEA, and all diseases
of the BOWELS, and for FEVER and AGUE and all Billious
Diseases, it has no superior. It is also an excellent remedy
for Colds, Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, and for Poisonous Bites.
W. R. STRONG, 206 J st., Proprietor, Sole Importing Agent
for the Pacific Coast.
Sold also by PARK & WHITE, San Francisco; Justin Gates,
HOWARD & SANDERS, F. H. RUSSEL, Sacramento, and
Druggists generally.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info. I thought only the earlist bottles were embossed on the sides and are extremely rare. This version is embossed different than any of the New York versions I have that have the exact same embossing and span 40 years. So , it would make sense it was a later California bottle. No?

Status: offline 		A 1860's ad from california states All genuine bears the signature of W.R. Strong and this was from Redington & Co , Sole Agents,  SanFransisco. I 'm thinking this bottle was the version without the side embossing. It mentions signature just as the New York bottles do with L.J.W. Vary and his signature appeared on the label only. I'm thinking the Cal bottles were doing the same thing since the ads are so similar? Maybe, a San Fransisco  Cal Bottle?.

Status: offline 		The example that Jason posted is most likely a Redington product from S.F. I no longer own a Strong embossed E.C. but have dug them in the past. They are found in clear flint and aqua and are products of the Pacific Glass Works. The glass always comes out sparkly clean and demonstrate no "sickness" that is common to dug bottles blown in Eastern glass houses.

I'm with you on that one.
You take such great pics, how do you get them so large and still fit to be uploaded. I haven't mastered that, but would love to show off pics like you do. I've come a long way since I started here and at least I can upload pics.

Status: offline 		Rory, I'd like to suggest that you forget to whole 200KB stuff.
If you can crop the pic to the bottle only first and then re size to about 640X400 is optimal for the web. 800X600 will work also. It also depends on the editing program you use but try to check keep aspect ratio in tact. That avoids the pic from being stretched on way or the other.
