I recently got this bottle not too unusual except for the color it is embossed in slug plate from Dr. hale’s sanitarium Eaton Rapids Michigan Reverse is embossed with the standard this bottle not to be sold it is about 13 inches high and looks to be quart size Can’t find any bottles from Dr. Hale searching online he did publish a couple books or propaganda pieces in 1882 and 1883 apparently about electrotherapy and his sanitarium I’m guessing this is a mineral water anyone ever seen this one or any other bottles from Dr. Hale before

Beautiful bottle! Here's a reference to Dr. Hale's Medical Sanitarium from an 1882 directory:



Here's a 1908 reference to Dr Morris Hale, mentions that he was formerly a manager of company called Ann Arbor Mineral Water Cure, and that the Sanitarium in Eaton Rapids burned down in 1885.


My best guess is that the bottle was for some sort of "restorative" mineral water. I'm also guessing it's a pretty valuable bottle!

Well, I'm a lot more familiar with Eastern Michigan Bottles then Western Michigan Bottles. I'm familiar with a few different Sanitarium Bottles from Western Michigan but not that one. I could ask around, I got some Bottle Collecting Friends on Western Michigan side. Nice Bottle. Congrats. LEON.
