Baltimore Tree Cordial ????[]

 

[JOETHECROW]

Yeah,...That tree is a bit Pine tar cordial-ish....Gunth/Matt do you have one of those bottles? I'd like to know more about it...

 

[AntiqueMeds]

I do not have one. I dont really collect Baltimore stuff. I would like to know about it too.

 

[JOETHECROW]

Maybe Chris will have some info...

That's a purty looking Houck's in the back there.[]

has anyone figured out what the tree bottle is yet?
too bad it wasnt basement mint with a label.

That is the million dollar question. Wish there was a basement mint one with a label. []

I had one of these and traded it. I doubt it was a medcine. Notice the very wide mouth. It has been discussed many times by the Baltimore colectors. Some think maybe capers or some other food stuff. Who really knows. No one seems to know the definitive answer. This one is in really great shape. Yes they are rare. They are around but you dont see them come up for sale that often. Most of the Baltimore collectors have one of these. I dug mine. I traded mine in a deal for the Baltimnore star ink.

shaped like a calcined magnesia bottle

The wide mouth, to me, is reminiscent of some kind of skin medication, or a medicine that would be applied directly to an affected area. I've got a "COOK'S MARJORAM CREAM" bottle with the same wide mouth and same general shape.
