Dr. S. N. Thomas Electric Oil - 1/1/2005 3:43:49 PM    glassy eyed   Posts: 13 Joined: 12/27/2004 Status: offline I have a little bottle of Dr. S.N. Thomas electric oil . I'm looking at it and on the sides it is embossed with internal on 1 side and external on the other. I got curious about this as I originally thought it was oil for electric motors or something But I found it was medicinal. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Dr. S. N. Thomas Eclectric Oil - 8/2/2006 7:16:12 AM    Gracel   Posts: 1 Joined: 8/1/2006 Status: offline I have a 5 1/2 " light green medicine bottle that I found in N.W. Ontario.  It says Dr. S. N. Thomas Eclectric Oil on one side of the bottle with a # 3 close to the bottom.  The other side which is indented  reads Northrop & Lyman Co Limited Toronto Ont.  It also says Internal on one side and External on the other with a number 133 stamped on the bottom.  The cork is still in the bottom of the bottle and looks to be wooden.
