Those are nice. How many Sample bottles do you have in your collection?


I don't know how many off hand, less than 20, it is a category I started last year.  Anyway, here are 3 more examples.
1) SAMPLE BOTTLE/DR KILMER'S/SWAMP-ROOT/KIDNEY CURE/BINGHAMTON, N.Y.
2) SAMPLE BOTTLE/FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE/FOLEY & CO. CHICAGO, U.S.A
3) SAMPLE BOTTLE/FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE/FOLEY & CO./ CHICAGO, U.S.A.

I suppose I have been a 'lurker' on this site but sure do like the site...My Father started collecting sample bottle meds back in the 1970s....he left them to me when he died, I suppose over 2/3 the bottles I have come from him, especially the more costly ones! I was born and raised back east in PA and VA, I now live in NM....sure do miss all the decent antique shops back east!  I seldom find a bottle in a shop and have to deal with e-bay now.

Sorry I do not own a digital camera (sort of a Luddite) my favorite sample med. is Rennes Magic Oil.

I have been kicking around the notion of writing an article to add to Grapentine's and Odell's published articles regarding sample bottles...for some reason I have set a goal of 100 bottles embossed sample or trial and have had no luck adding anything new for about a year now...there have to be more out there.  If you have one that is not on my list I would love to hear about it (embossing, color, height, etc)

anyhow thanks for the intertest and all the best to you and yours
yours, Michael Dussinger

At the risk of being repetative,
a Kilmers swamp root cure in the original wooden mailing tube...

The early samples were distributed at medicine shows and pharmacies. Later on many of the big companies started successfully exploiting the US Mail as a marketing avenue.

Status: offline 		That is a cool one Dan - you dont see the word Sample on a square amber bottle like that often. Samples are a cool thing to collect. I've got a Carters indelible ink sample, a sample 3 in one oil, a Xalia hair sample from Boston, those are the more interesting ones I can think of off the top of my head.
