Found this bottle in the low tide mud last night. It is for S. James Alterman Co. Pharmacy which operated on 55 & 6 Broadway in NYC. I haven't been able to find any information on the company as of yet. Bottle is blown in mold with tooled top. Was just free floating on the surface.

This is a patent medicine that claimed to cure nearly all ailments, in reality it was just baking soda, charcoal, and wintergreen oil. After 1914 the medicine's name was changed to Bell-Ans.
This is an Ozomulsion patent medicine bottle. It likely dates from the 1890's-1910's. The product was claimed by its makers to be a cure-all. This bottle has part of its lip missing but otherwise it is in good condition.

Hey everyone. I’m a digger and collector from Sudbury Ontario. I’m always looking to add Sudbury bottles to my collection. If there’s any out there for sale or trade please let me know! I’ve attached some pictures of a few of my bottles
Found this midget bottle a while ago. Have always wondered what was in it. Of course, it’s unmarked so I’ll never know EXACTLY what was in it. It’s around 1.5 inches tall, found in Georgian Bay Area.
Found this bottle at me cottage out on Georgian Bay. 1890s most likely. Says Chemists United on the front, but I haven’t found anything on google or here. Any help identifying it?
This is another bottle I found last week in the woods. I looked on Ebay and there's only one of them. On here a search turned up nothing. On the bottom all it has is a "K" and then a number 1 inside the machine mark. Does anyone have one in their collection?
Hi Everyone-- I have a mixed bunch of bottles available. If interested, I'd prefer to sell as a lot so prefer a pick up in Florida (due to possible shipping breakage and $$$). I'll post a few photos here but i have MORE. Ask questions. Thx!
It's a clear 10 sided bottle with a metal screw on lid. Kinda looks like a salt shaker without the holes The bottle is about three inches tall and in raised letters reads D.JAYNE USA. The lid reads D.JAYNE across the top. The bottom has the number 1as well as a C and an L going through it, which...
I was wondering if this was a common example of a SHARP & DOHME BALTIMORE MD. medicine?

Comments appreciated.

Here's a mystery. L.T. Piver is a French Perfumer. This bottle claims to have something to do with vinegar and eye repair. Seriously, what the heck is it???:confused:
Any other bottle enthusiasts out there collecting IV (intravenous) medical bottles? I'm a retired pharmaceutical company employee & have about 25 or 30 IV bottles & a few other items from various companies. These were made between 1936 & the 1970's. I'm downsizing - my little grandkids are 2500...
