Greetings from Italy.
I have recently bought a great collection of 200 old ( 1880/1930) drugstore/apothecary little/medium bottles.
A lot of them are still sealed with labels, contents and wax/cork stopper.
The one i'd like to show you is, at least for me, interesting because the apothecary store on the label was active only between 1872 and 1897. I'd like to know if the glass bottle is compatible with this date or if the label has been recycled on a more recent bottle.
I hope u can appreciate the mold marks on the photo.
Best regards and thx in advance for your help.
Do you know if there is any work written in UK to help id. and date european bottles?
