Hello-
I'm new to the forum (or at least haven't posted in years).
I've found a bottle in the unfinished portion of my attic, under the large roof rafters at the back of the house. I was checking for a leak, and put my hand on the bottle in the accompanying photos. Since this house was moved here in 1874, it must have been here for at least that long.
The house was originally built down by the harbor and was moved here by cribbing and oxen in or about the year 1874. It was built very near the wharf in 1790 or so. It's a Quaker Style house and it has many secrets.
The bottle is only the latest of these. If anyone is familiar with it, I'd enjoy shared knowledge. It's nice that I found it intact and with a label. The pontil is ground down. But I suspect it's at least as old as the year 1874.
The old label reads:
Warranted
Pure Cod Liver Oil
prepared by
E. Atwood

Thoughts? Thank you.
