Sharp & Dohme - 11/15/2003 8:45:22 PM    bottle_queen   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/15/2003 Status: offline Hi all. Im new here and starting in Oct. 2003 I began to collect medicine and poison bottles. Among my collect of 30+, I have a small brown bottle. Sorry there is no picture - picture will come later. It is 2 1/4 inches tall, it has 6 sides, rolled lip, and its' embossed with the words SHARP & DOHME on one side and BALTIMORE on another. I got this for $2 at a flea market. I would just like to know what it was, exactly. I was told it was poison, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx Incurable Collector, Bottle_Queen Post #: 1

My dad's a plumber in chicago and he found it one day at work. I have pictures... But It won't let me put them on here cause its a TIF File. :( Does your bottle have the number '29' on the bottom? < Message edited by FalseHope87 -- 11/26/2003 6:47:43 PM > (in reply to bottle_queen) Post #: 2

RE: Sharp & Dohme - 11/29/2003 11:42:36 AM    Pontiled   Posts: 411 Joined: 8/27/2003 Status: offline It's definitely a poison bottle (Sharp & Dohme made lots of them). It's unfortunate that the word "POISON" doesn't appear on them. Nice find to add to the collection! _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to bottle_queen) Post #: 4

RE: Sharp & Dohme - 12/1/2003 11:53:58 PM    bottle_girl   Posts: 35 Joined: 12/1/2003 Status: offline I am Bottle Queen, now called Bottle Girl. I changed my name but Im the same person. In response to FalseHope87 - yes, it does have a 29 on the bottom, and a 4, and S&D. And to Pontiled, I'm thrilled that it's a poison bottle. I was told that it might be but I wasn't sure. This is cool because I got it for $0.50 at a flea market out of an old basket that was full of junk. I do have a picture of it. Thanx for the responses everybody. I am happy!

This is incorrect. I got a bottle for $2 at the same flea market as I did the S&D but the S&D was $0.50. I got a Piso Company bottle at the same place for $2.00 and I gave the wrong price.

I happen to have one of these too, so I looked on the bottom of mine, and it has the number 63. Anybody know what these numbers signify? (in reply to bottle_queen) Post #: 17
