Just wondering if anybody has information on this amber bottle I have just found here in Australia. It is also marked C . B & I Extract Co, S. F. Cal.
Thankyou David

The Henley's products are an entire collecting category in themselves...from the colorful IXL bitters, Eye Opener, OK Bitters, Indian Queen Hair Restorative, Dadelion Tonic, Royal Balsam, Regulator, and Celery Beef and Iron bottles, the challenge to collect them all is quite difficult indeed. The C.B. & I comes in a cylinder wine type bottle and an indented panel rectangle. The rectangles date to the 1880s and come with either a neatly tooled, or applied top. I have seen a couple of these which have nice whittle effect but most are very plain and a regular amber. I would consider the rectangle as scarce as you see one at almost every western show. The applied top examples are the most desirable.
