I'm New to this site and have a question regarding handwritten labels on psychoative medicines. Has anyone ever seen small handwritten paper labels on bottles w/ no maker name or city or anything, just says opium, or morphine...? Can you tell anything by the style of writing? Thanks for any info
This bottle says cannabis on the front(handwritten paper label) and says H.T. Helmbold on the side.

They look real to me! Looks like they came from the office Sigmund Freud haha[;)] Many old bottles had been reused or had dual purpose,a case in point being pepper sauce was once bottle in cologne bottles... I would be hesitant to sell them on eBay ya might get busted! Nice old specimens ya got there! Taz
