Willson's Monarch Remedies/different type

dougsjohnson · Sep 26, 2007

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has seen this type of Willson's Monarch Remedies. It is almost 10" tall. On one side is "WILLSON'S MONARCH REMEDIES", the other has "EDGERTON, WIS. U.S.A."
I have never seen this variant, and can't seem to find any info on it.

Thanks,

Doug

Is it Willson or Wilson? I have 2 of them listed in my book as Wilson but not the variant you have. All the Wilson bottles are uncommon...at least outside of Edgerton[

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It is indeed "Willson's". I will post a better picture of it tonight. The bottle is taller than most, and it was hard to get all the embossing in a single frame.

Hi,

I tried to get some close ups of the previously mentioned bottle. It is just too big. I cannot get a good closeup.
I was going through some bottles today and discovered another Willson's. This one is a "MONARCH CREAM". "The Best Skin Remedy" "EdgertonWis". Is that one listed?
I see you have a book available. If you need some info about the bottles to include in your data base let me know.

I just found one today. I have lived in northern Illinois all my life and travel through Edgerton, Wis. very often. I have never heard of this before. I have several local pharmacy and dairy bottles that I have found. I would like to know what "monarch remedies" was
