I've heard of Frey's Vermifuge but till this week hadn't seen a bottle embossed with a scripted "Frey" and nothing else. Perhaps the same maker but a later year or different product?

Sorry about the quality—trying to capture the embossing.

Here it is with a few other bottles from the same site...

As always, any help appreciated.

It looks like a drug store bottle. Probably some druggist local to you was named Frey. Although usually the store would emboss its full name on the bottle, it seems that every larger city had at least one druggist that just put their last name and nothing else on the bottle.

Thanks! Did some searches. There was a John P. Frey who operated a drugstore in my area from around 1897 to 1913, when he sold the business and joined the NY-based Riker-Hegeman. If he's the same "Frey" from my bottle, that puts a pretty good estimate on the age and ID.
