Citrate of Magnesia I found the other day. I know it is common, but the embossing and ceramic stopper I really liked,Lisa

The rust just about proves (to me) they still used the bails on a crown late so that's a good point by itself.What's the year on that? It looks post 1929 but an original fitting.

The Citrate of Magnesia bottles are cool. I have found a few. I kept one because the embossing is really unique.

Sunrunner thanks for the info. It is funny because for years and years the only pharmacy around here was a Rexall.I think the date is 1931. After the Owens symbol it reads -1. Maybe 41. I am not going to mess with the stopper or bail because I don't want to break them.Lisa

I have a neat clear glass old bottle embossed with CITRATE OF MAGNESIA. I looked for it but it is in hiding I guess. Nice old hand blown one though. RED Matthews

Doctors use to use that for a colonoscopy and it wasn't real horrible. I hate the new stuff that requires a prescription.
