Thanks for the post. The only thing about that one is a large bubble too close to the embossing. Not a good looking bubble. For the price I may bid and see how it goes though.

Cutter Lab.

ORIGINAL: Lordbud

The Cutter bottle is from Berkeley, I have one of the little guys like you purchased.
I have a slightly larger example also amber glass embossed The Cutter Laboratory Berkeley, Cal.

Jason, what do you know about the Cutter Laboratory? Or the age of this bottle? Nick from Rio Vista recently added a similar one to his collection and was asking me about it, the only thing I found on the www was a reference to the Cutter lab producing bottles for penicilin around 1940. This bottle looks older than that though, it looks bim to me. Nick said his look like it was blown also.

wilkie, since you appear to be into meds, i thought i should post picture of this one i picked up at the downieville show. other then the face the sides read, " st. albansvt", and "dutchers", its quite crude, especially the tool around the lip, but its got a bad hazey stain in it

RE: Cutter Lab.

My larger size Cutter is exactly like NorCal's picture with the embossing running from bottom to top. These Cutter bottles are likely 1905-1910.

I was able to glean this from a quick internet search, corrections are welcome:
Begun in 1897, later in 1903, a small family business known as Cutter Analytical Laboratory moved to a 3-acre lot in the city’s (Berkeley's) west side. They made medical products such as vaccines, toxins, antitoxins. They grew large supplying blood products during World War 2.
Cutter was bought by Bayer AG in 1974.

The apple green flask sure is a beauty. I love all the color you have in your flask collection.

Actually, meds is not my favorite category but I do collect certain ones, ie. San Francisco, Sacramento, and Suisun. Also any Navy meds. The exception to that would be anything that looks unusual or crude. I like the the one you purchased in Downieville. That's a nice one. I'm really into samples, jakes and Northern California blob top sodas and hutches.

RE: Cutter Lab.

Hi Tim..I was there and gone early so no wonder I missed you...You had some nice finds this weekend. I like the Kurtz. I ran into NorCalBottleHunter and DeltaDigger in the morning. Nice to finally meet. I only picked up one bottle - a fairly common Foley's Kidney, but the embossing was strong and I liked it.I saw several Nevada bottles that I would have liked but they were close to $1000, so maybe next lifetime. I'm anxious for the next show - Anderson in January....Ron
