I found a Holloway's Ointment Pot.....

Ladybuggz · Aug 26, 2010

Hi all, I found a Holloway's Ointment Pot about 5 yrs ago in an old burnt down China town/Dump. It is in pretty good shape(a couple little chips on the bottom) . I have done some research on it also the front reads.... Ointment for the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, manufactured Only by the Proprietor. Trade Mark( A Boobs out Lady sitting) address of : 533 Oxford St. London, the back has Ointment Inverterate Ulcers,Sore Breasts, Sore Heads, Bad Legs & c. then all the numbers.,I have it dated to approx.1868 - 1881 on the research I have done..I have a couple pictures but I don't have a very good camera so they aren't very clear.....
Anyone have a clue what something like this is worth??

Hi, They are often found in the USA but are far more commonly found in England.

In good condition they go for about 30 british pounds or about 45 bucks...ish
If there is any damage it will hurt the price though.

That is right. There are several addresses.
The USA variants are all hard to get.There are several British types. The exposed boobs are sought after actually. The pictorial classical lady and child either have the Oxford address or later Southwark addess.
The pots with the rope border have either the 144 Strand Address and the harder to get has the Oxford Late Strand address which is the transitional period 1867.
The early roccoco scrolled Holloways in my view is the prettiest and all are hard to get. The sepia print type American examples are fabulous.
The early family ointment pot is also scarce.

There is a very good section, with photos, on Holloways Ointments & specifically the "Boobs" Holloway on the South African site - antiquebottles.co.za. Have a look under the ointments section.

The only 100% one I found, the rest were chipped and broken.
Here are some sore breasts for you G-Man [8D]

No, that's not it. The breasts out variation shows the woman figure topless, and it's not an American Holloway address... Somebody will have one. If not it's pictured in that recent UK Ointment Pot book by Houghton and Priestly.
