As some of you may know, I'm specialising in paper-label bottles. Although these two are not from my town, one is from a neighbouring city and the other made wonderful advancements in the medical world for about a century before giving over control to larger corporations. Both are still partially to nearly full.
Parke, Davis, & Company formed in 1871 Detroit and operated as its own entity till 1970. It is now a subsidiary of Pfizer and had been the World's leading Pharmaceutical company. This is Pareira, N.F. AKA Pareira Brava-- a diuretic medicine. I'd date it to circa 1910.
This is now my third bottle from this company. Here is a pre-1920 Rhubarb Extract (and other listed ingredients) bottle from the Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Company, which formed in 1873 Grand Rapids. It came from the same place as the above one, so also circa 1910.
Since these pictures, I've done work on the H. & P. D. Co. bottle to free it of wax paper and fill in the holes on the label.
I've also sealed both to stop the incredibly strong scent from the Rhubarb one and to prevent leaks.
