Fever & Ague Antidote - any info???

I messed that one up. I was trying to quote GunterHess. I bet this bottle didn't change once in the entire time it was made.

Fever & Ague Antidote - any info???

Thanks for the encouragement surfaceone! By the way, I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you always have (what seems to be) a random image after all of your posts? Do you look one up on the internet every time or do you have them in a folder waiting to use 'em? Some of them are cool...like the...

I just read a reference to it from a book about 1857. So I guess it goes back that far.

I would love to know what kind of top it had. It looks like it could have had a glass stopper that matched the style of the bottle; We didn't find it if there was one. But, then again, I really wouldn't be surprised if it had just a cork!

Sure thing GuntherHess. They aren't real good though. I took them on the fly, but you are more than welcome to use them how you see fit.

I'm not real concerned about the value. I'm sure it isn't much, but it has to be at least mid 1860s. All the stuff we found from the bottom of that privy was from mid to very early 1860s. Now, that is not to say that they weren't made exactly the same well after that without much variation. That...

Hey everybody, We found this bottle a couple of months ago and I have been intrigued by it since. It is clear and in pretty good shape. It says S.HALLENBERGER'S / FEVER & AGUE / ANTIDOTE. We found it in an early 1860s privy. Does anyone have any information about this bottle?

Here is a picture of it all cleaned up. You can notice that it has some beads around the neck. I wonder if they are vent hole marks or just part of the design?
