1st dig of spring yielded a cool veterinarian bottle...and a newark

[groundsloth]

Didn't find much but thought these two bottles were worth sharing: The veterinary bottle has nice embossing, neat to see the word "cattle" embossed in the glass. The Menk bottle is a large apothecary shape - thought someone from the NJ area might like the street address embossing.

That's a nice NJ citrate of magnesia! Not listed on the NJ bottle forum but that's not saying much because Newark probably had hundreds of druggists, most are undiscovered.

Thanks, The Newark bottle is available for trade, if interested.

Nice find.

How does one know that the Menk is a Citrate of Magnesia bottle?

 

[BellwoodBoys]

Citrate of magnesias always have a short and perfectly round shape as well as a signature double collar lip. They also almost always have the decoration around the pharmacy name. The one in the middle is an example of an unmistakable citrate of magnesia.
