Doct. Marshall's Varient

[Road Dog]

Found ad Dr. Marshall's Headache Snuff 50 cents a bottle. This is 1835.

Nice bottle, great find. Utica, NY? Headache snuff? Please do tell more, very interesting.

The Utica N.Y. may be a different Marshall? There are alot of Marshall ads pre 1840. Kinda hard to tell between them. Diggers book states it has a pleasant flavor and it's immediate effect, after being cured, is aggreeable.

That is one, killer, little bottle.I am far from an expert but a rolled lip would be odd for a 30's medicine.It still looks alot earlier than the common mold.Congrats

True rolled lip seems to be more 1850's thing and up to 1870.

I'll look thru some 1850's ad info this afternoon.

Heres a pic of my other Doct. Marshalls open pontil. The glass doesn't appear as old.

This Marshall's I have is one of the newer version.

Kool! I wonder if they were part of the Food and Drug crackdown. Curious to see what was in this stuff or snuff.
