Egyptian oil?

[Oldtimer]

Found a bottle in a local shop.."House" shaped, square, 4 sloped "roof" panels, tall (2") neck, large tooled square lipped top....
About 8" square, maybe 10" tall. clear.
Embossed "Egyptian Oil"...

Lamp oil? Perfume?

Hey Richard,

Peeved, as I was not, I did do some looking, but had to cut it short. Too much Egyptian news interference. Will give it a go later...

PS: Bravo Eric,

Dr. Bonker's, eh...

I know of about a half dozen egyptian meds but never heard of that one.

Thanks guys...I am heartened to see it was, in one form at least, a medicine...No other embossing on it besides Egyptian Oil though..
Guy wants crazy coin for it, so unless I find out it's super valuable, it'll remain his forever and ever. He wants $350 for it, and it's cloudy. Needs a tumble. Never going to sell at that price.

Hey Richard,

I'm kinda peeved at myself, but am having trouble picturing this. I'm seeing hella stout bottle. My Egyptian mind meld is on the fritz.

"Colwell's Egyptian Oil (opium)" listed, but not pictured HERE.

"Colwell's Egyptian Oil. Dr. Colwell's Magic Egyptian Oil, cures diphtheria, etc." From.

"Title: "Egyptian Oil." (For Medicine.) East India Chemical Co.. St. Loui« Mo." From.

This strange looking

"Egyptian Perfume" leaped outta fleabay, but doesn't meet the profile.

That's all for now...

OK, I need to offer up my deepest apologies here.
I don't know why I had it in my head that it was egyptian oil..my memory is going.
It's NOT Egyptian OIL, it's Egyptian Chemical Co Boston Mass.
Also, I was wrong on the size, though it was only a guess.
And it's aqua...so ai was basically 90% wrong. Sorry.
Pics from now on, I promise. I always forget I have a cam in my phone.
