They are aren't they! I had to get my hands on them to see them properly and do a bit of research if possible haha!
The names are etched on to the glass - which was being done in Victorian era I believe...
I should get better photo's in more natural light it probably makes them look more...
Just me again... probably gonna be posting a lot the next day or so as I pack up my collection and forgotten bottles for moving house :rolleyes:
I got these at auction and they were labelled as early 1900s /victorian era.
Wondering if anyone has any similar bottles and if they could perhaps...
I know its difficult to date the actual bottle itself but it probably is more modern, as I say perhaps made as a prop for something and he's bought it assuming it's possibly a legit bottle. It's probably gonna remain a mystery unless whoever put it together comes along and clarifies haha!
Ah wait if he was in partnership by 1911 then the bottles would have perhaps been branded under Groves & Hall rather than just R.H Groves? I forgot about the partnership when reading that paragraph!
I'm not sure if you;ve came across this or if it's of interest to you but I pulled this info from the Chemist & druggist magazine/newspaper from 1912 so I'm going to assume latter as well, more likely to be early 1900s to maybe even 1920s would be a better estimate?
I've included a photo not...
Thanks for the great info :)
I'd stumbled across W.E Groves on a register I was looking at for the local chemists of the area but it was probably an older register as there was no R.H Groves present on it, I was going to look into W.E Groves more had I had no luck elsewhere for R.H Groves...
I have this bottle & trying to find some information on it... I'm not sure if it's a chemists bottle or possibly a drinks bottle. It has been found within the UK. Not sure if it should be placed in Pre 1900s or After 1900s.
Measures approx. 13cm x 5cm x 3cm
Seems to have an M type symbol...
Hi Guys sorry about the super delayed response - Life had gotten in the way haha!
I've got some more pictures to upload - I'm gonna assume someone's put it together to try fleece someone who doesn't know much about bottles or they've liked the combination of all the elements & it's been make...
Yeah that's what I was thinking luckily it only cost me a couple of pounds and I bought it more so cause I quite like its shape and the wiring although the top is a bit lopsided haha - I was skeptical about the label and shape for a pharmaceutical or druggist bottle. And given its made it from...
Bought this bottle today from an antique store. I've attached a picture below. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on it or if anyone has something similar in terms of bottle design for laudanum poison?
It was sold as an American bottle & was labelled as Victorian Era. Been trying to...
