Hi. I am brand new to this site and I am not sure if I'm posting this in the right area. I found a Davis Pain Killer Bottle and I dont know anything about it. I have done a little research on Google but it seems overwhelming with so many fake bottles out there. Can anyone look at my pictures and give me any information. Thank you so much.

Welcome to the forum! Davis was a very popular product in its day. Invented in 1839-40 by Perry Davis and patented in 1845, it was in use for decades thereafter, including during the Civil War. The medicine itself was a mixture of alcohol, opium, and other herbal analgesics. I've dug a few of them, tho slightly different from yours. Common but fun to find.

My example (c. 1880) has the indented panel.
