Doctor Pierce Extract of Smart-Weed, olive yellow

[GuntherHess]

This is one of the earliest Dr Pierce bottles. The PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION was his first product which he started making sometime around 1868. This bottle is marked TW&CO on the bottom (Thomas Wightman Pittsburgh) which puts it after 1873. I think I have seen an even earlier one marked L&W on the bottom (I'm looking for early ones if anyone has any).

Are the Dr. Pierce a commom find? It's a family name and would make a nice housewarming gift to the new home

If you are just looking for a bottle with the name on it, here is a common Dr. Pierce on eBay. It has a Ninety-nine cent opening bid, no reserve and most probably won't even get a bid. It is Item # 190221876788.

Matt, I will keep my eyes out for ones with earlier industrial characteristics, keeping you in mind. I have seen many vairiations of Dr. Pierce, most are quite common (to me) and occasionally, I see one I haven't seen before. The oval Pierce with measuring increments is one of my favorites, as is the Smart Weed.

Any of the applied lip ones are interesting.

Hi-I 've got this Pierce bottle with A&DHC in circle on base....

 

[GuntherHess]

That looks like it might be another early Pittsburgh one. Does it have an applied lip? What's the base type, post mold?

Stardust; I think I have a Dr pierce around here that you can have (clear glass). Just give me a couple of days to look through some boxes for it. Tom

basically comes to you. So Thank you!
