RE: WINTERSMITH LOUIVILLE KY - 2/22/2009 10:00:52 AM    nhpharm   Posts: 147 Joined: 4/24/2007 Status: online You got me curious, so I did a bit of research and discovered that Arthur Peter & Co. of Louisville, KY sold the following products in the late 1800's and early 1900's: Wintersmith's Chill Tonic (two sizes) Wintersmith's Mulberry Pills Wintersmith's Buchu Wintersmith's Sarsaparilla Wintersmith's Worm Candy I would guess that the Wintersmith bottles that I picked up in Tampa would be for something like the Wintersmith's Chill Tonic (which was a remedy for malaria).  Arthur Peter & Co disappears from the books in 1923 and is replaced by the company name "Wintersmith" selling many of the same products (still based in Louisville), so it is possible that these bottles actually post-date 1923 (the ones that I got were both tooled lip and ABM). I could be wrong, but based on the size and shape of the bottles, I am skeptical about Kovel's claim that these were whiskey. (in reply to athometoo) Post #: 10
