Looking for some input on this Amber, Blown in mold bottle with a recessed front panel. It measures 6" tall, and is embossed, DR. McWINNIE'S / SPAVOLENE / TROY, N. Y. I live just north of Troy, and my freinds and I have dug and attended Shows all around the East, every year for 10 or 12 yrs. We have never heard, or come across this bottle in our travels. Spavolene leads me to beleive its a Veterinary Medicine. Probabely Horse related. Get it, Dr. McWinnie's? I have talked to some of the bigger collectors of bottles from Troy, as well as people in the know, and noone has seen it. It was dug 5 miles from Troy 2 weeks ago, and I purchased it for re-sale from a freind.
