    Patent Medicine - Pain Paralyzer (Alcohol, Opium, Chloroform)

    This is a family heirloom called Haller's Pain Paralyzer, bottled between 1906 (opium was required to be listed on the label in 1906) and 1914 when Opium was outlawed in the USA. The next 2 pictures are of the 1912 Haller Heath Guide and an ad for Haller's Pain Paralyzer. The next 2 pictures are...

    Family Heirlooms

    I've been collecting family heirloom antiques I find online. Figuring out the old family business and dates is fun research. I bought this tiny little one ounce bottle off of eBay, and found the glass maker's mark, which gives the dates of mid 1870s and 1800 for I.C. Co. Link...

    1913 Kellogg's Tasteless Caster Oil

    So I finally decided to research my little 4 1/2" 3 oz. Kellogg's purple bottle. I thought it had something to do with the cereal company that started in Battle Creek, but I was wrong. I found the bottle when I was a little kid in the 1960's, probably in the Eastern Sierras, but I don't...

    Gin Bottle with Asterisk on bottom

    Anybody have any information about this olive green "Asterisk" gin bottle? I inherited it from my father who probably bought it back around 1970.

    Half Pint Milk Bottle Rusche-Haller Dairy Chicago Illinois

    I just bought this off of eBay, and I'm wondering if anyone has any information about the Rusche-Haller Dairy in Chicago. All I could find was a newspaper ad from the year 1911. eBay offered me 1/2 price on the bottle, and being it was so inexpensive, I went for it. I've been collecting...

    Question About 1830s Game

    I have a family heirloom from the 1830s, a spool cabinet. The cabinet was made by my 4th (or 5th?) Great Grandmother's student, as a forfeit to some game they played at the little Ohio schoolhouse where she taught. There's a note from my 2nd great grandmother, but she failed to mention what game...

    Hot Glass

    I had one piece of Vaseline Glass (Uranium Glass), and found some more at a local little junk store this past week. So I decided to dig out my GM-10 Geiger counter to see how hot each piece is. The little toothpick top hat is the hottest piece, at about 70 CPM (counts per minute), and the...

    Old Castle Whiskey

    This may not be my best bottle, but it's my all time favorite, because it was found by my father and I at the May Lundy mines in the Eastern Sierra mountains around 1968, when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It was quite an adventure at that age to be backpacking with my family in the high...

    Hello From The Pacific Northwest

    I'v been collecting bottles since the 1960s, when I would go backpacking with my family in the High Sierras. Lately I've been collecting family heirloom bottles that I can find online, like this Pain Paralyzer bottle from the Haller Proprietary Co. (1888-1918), owned and operated by my 4th great...
