Here is one I haven't seen until this weekend. It was dark reddish/brown stains all through it. It cleaned up pretty well with the new cleanser I use.

It is DW Bancroft's // Liver Syrup For The Blood // Marshfiled, Vt.
It is a large family size bottle and very clean less some interior staining.

The cork is still in it.

Thanks Jeff and Matt! I am wondering now how many different Bancroft's are out there! I assume you mean it is a tough one to find, Jeff. I really wouldn't know and thank you for that info. A young college kid who beat me to the table at a local yard sale sold it to me. Not quite as cheaply as he bought, as you can imagine but still a good buy.

Matt, I assume you mean the Stone Wash bottle of Severys. That one caught my eye because it had a flared lip and I love flared lips, especially unchipped.

It is a very nice little bottle and one I hadn't seen yet. I did follow your link to the severys in Boston and still researching those leads.

Here is the wound wash.

The Bancroft's picture really doesn't do it justice. Here are some more shots of this newest addition to the Vermont Collection.

Oops! Check out the stats on this guy and his young wife. She died a couple years younger than he. No telling what happened to the orphan.
I wonder what they succumbed too. I suppose the ingredients of this bottle couldn't help.

I posted it yesterday with hopes that a British collector may be able to tell.
Thanks for your help, Matt.
