Nice! I feel like I should know this, but what did it contain? Just a standard medicine? Secondly, is it pontilled?

Nice Finds Matt. Like you don't always have nice finds. As a matter of fact those on your web site for sale are pretty nice to. I keep my eye on them cause you just never know.

Nice one, Matt. For some reason, I had always wanted a pontiled Radway since I first collected bottles (when I was about 11). I saw one in a book and just thought it was cool. Of course, I didn't have any pontiled bottles at the time.

I finally dug one 15 years later, and thought of that right away. It's the plain, small common one. I like the 50 cent and $1 versions. ~Jim

This one is pontil marked, probably from the 1850s.
They are also found in smooth base.
The product was a panacea, cures including malaria, fevers, etc etc...
