Hello Bill my name is Brad. You helped me a while back with information on a bottle I dug. It was a red amber "Mull's Grape Tonic Rock Island Illinois" in a bitters bottle size and shape. thanks for your help!
Now I have two more questions for you about a couple more bottles. First the PHILLIPS’ / LIVER HUSTLER / OR LIVER TONIC / GAINESVILLE, TEX. Amber, rectangular, 6 ¾†tall.
I only collect Texas meds now, and have never heard of or seen this bottle. I have asked all the old time collectors around here, and none of them has either. Have you actually seen one before? If so how early did the bottle appear? If you saw it sell about how much did it bring?
The next one is the TONIQUE / SAN ANTONIO / TONIC, amber & reportedly aqua, square “brandy†shape, 11 ½†tal. With the same set of questions as the other bottle.
These are two bottles I would love to add to my collection. I know it is a long shot, but if anyone has one of these or any other Texas meds they would part with please drop me a line. Thanks for your help!
