July Antique Medicine Contest- win a pontilled medicine

GuntherHess · Jul 7, 2009

To promote interest in antique medicine bottles and to generally have fun I am running a July contest. To have a chance at winning all you need to do is post a photo or advertisement for the weirdest old medicine bottle you can think of.
Anyone is welcome to try. If it works out ok I hope to do more similar contests.
Enjoy.

I think it's a great idea! Too bad it's happening on a rival forum![

] Just kidding.. I'll see what I can find out there in the wacky, quacky med world..

I dont consider it a rival forum. It is not intended to be a general bottle site or social forum like ABN. The majority of readers so far do not even post (although they are certainly welcome if they have positive info to add). It is mostly a site to archive information about antique medicine bottles. The ABN site is great but sometimes it is so busy that things get missed or quickly buried.
I considered doing a blog but I prefer a format where others can add and ask questions.
It also gives me a way to host fun stuff like contests that I enjoy doing.
Its a hobby , its supposed to be fun and interesting.

Someone asked if a shard or broken bottle was ok for the contest.
The bottle does not need to be whole, you just need to be able to recongnize what the product was.
We arent judging the bottle itself , just the weird product.
The bottle or advertisement is just proof that the product existed and was an antique.

Does it have to be American? or in the English language?

Great idea Gunther, here's my entry

GuntherHess · Jul 7, 2009

It does not have to be American. The rules are posted.

Entries do need to be posted in that thread on the Antique Medicines forum to count.
Please state the embossing or name of product in the post so everyone knows what your entry is.

RULES SAY THE PERSON DOES NOT HAVE TO OWN THE BOTTLE. SO DOES A BOTTLE OFF EBAY COUNT? JAMIE

GuntherHess · Jul 7, 2009

DOES A BOTTLE OFF EBAY COUNT?

yes, but in theory you should ask the owner if you can use thier photos.
Do as I say , not as I do...[

Also I should say I dont mind if people change thier entries before the end of the contest.
You can edit your post as you see fit. So if you dont like your first entry you can revise it.
Just be sure to only make one post though.

BTW...At the moment JoeTheCrow appears to be winning by default[
