2 Eclectic oil bottles

[gdog68]

Here is two eclectic oil bottles from Fort wayne. Both are post bottom mold druggist bottles that date around 1870 or 1880s. I having trouble finding anything on the keller medicine company online. Any company info would help, thank you

Wow, those are great, a knockoff of Eclectric Oil! I bet the labels are very rare and the bottles themselves probably aren't too common either - the knockoff companies generally weren't too successful - especially if they were charging 50 cents per bottle! That was a lot of money in those days.

Cool! I liked reading the directions! Very interesting!

It is ridiculous what it says this oil can cure. Bites of poison reptiles, soar nipples, a caked breast . 50 cents back then would have the buying power of 14 or 15 dollars today.

Wow that last comment must've been while I was sleeping, unless it was the budweiser mixed with the opium that other guy sent

Very cool. That looks like Wyatt Earp on the front of that bottle. Wonder if he suffered from soar nipples?
What is a caked breast?

 

[CCB420]

Can't be too bad, I like cake and I'm fond of breast as well

I looked it up
Caked breast is a localized hardening in one or more segments of a lactating breast caused by accumulation of blood in dilated veins and milk in obstructed ducts
