Nathan Wood bottles from Portland Maine.

Oldtimer · May 25, 2004

Any info on him? I have two Nathan Wood bottles, one seen here, and another embossed with " Nathan Wood & son established 50 years, 1843-1893, Portland maine."
I am fairly sure the labeled bottle in the pic is some older than the one described here. The 50th bottle is almost exactly like a common "bakers" bottle in size shape and look.

Hi Oldtimer, I have dug quite a few Nathan Woods and Sons, seeing as I live in the next town over from Portland, they're somewhat common here[8D]. But the one in your pic is very nice & with a label as well[

]. I think if you check with Sam-Maine Bottles, you might find some info. Sam has been putting together a volume on all the Maine drug/medicine mfg. companies.[

It has the backside label too. Nothing special I know, but labeled bottles are rare.

Hi Oldtimer

Nathan Wood & Son - est. 1843 and still going strong in 1920. I have an 1883 order sheet from them that lists approx. 40 products that they sold, Wood's Lung Balsam is first on their list so I'm guessing it was a big seller of theirs (20 cents per bottle). What's the coblat bottle in your pic? Any Maine bottles you have in your collection that you're willing to part with - keep me in mind please.
Later - Sam

Nathan Wood & Son was also responsible for the production of Lord's Opodeldoc ( the iconic liniment bottle with a figure of a man breaking his crutches ) embossed on an indented panel per the small oval bottle that contained the liniment.
