Here is a fairly uncommon bottle I got off fleabay recently.
GARDINER'S RHEUMATIC AND NEURALGIA COMPOUND. BOSTON, MASS. This is a hinge mold smooth base, there are also pontil marked versions.
There isnt much to be found on this guy. Baldwin lists it as Chas. F Gardiner advertised around the Civil War. In the 1862 Boston city directry I found Henry R Gardiner listed as a proprietor for rheumatic compound. Both men were listed at same address so I assume they were relatives both in the patent medicine bussiness. If anyone else has info on it I'd like to hear it.
