Perry Davis Vegetable Painkiller

seeker · Sep 22, 2005

Hi expert bottle diggers,

I was wondering if anyone knows what country that the Perry Davis Vegetable Painkiller bottle was manufactured in. I'm thinking the US, but not 100% sure. I know it was made between 1880-1920 but if anyone could tell me the country that would be great. Also it has an applied lip, am i right in assuming that it would date prior to the early 1890s if it is indeed a US manufacturer.
Would greatly appreciate some help
Thanks,
the Seeker!

ï»¿Thanks seeker for the inquiry. There is a lot of info here on Antique-bottles,
and endless info on the net about your bottle. Your bottle is American. I
appreciate researching for myself though. My favorite bottles are those with
attributing memorabilia, such as Davis/vegetable.
Found these prices on an auction. Condition determines price. These prices are
only to give you an idea. I would say these bottles are worth $3-$10 (dug).
Respectively. Chris in S. Jersey

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much, the advertising shots were fascinating. I'd done a search on the web but could not manage to find the country, mostly it was presumed I allready knew. The seems on the bottle finish under the applied lip or finish, so I was wondering if anyone knew if that altered the date I would expect it to be, Thanks again
