Embossed “Brain Food†Bottle

Here’s the weirdest name I have ever seen on a bottle! Its embossed with John Allen Chemist New York Brain Food. Its mold blown and came out of a 1870s privy last year. My friend and I also dug 65+ Hosetters bitters, 20+ Hooflands German bitters, 1 browns iron bitter, 1 Doyle’s hop bitters, and a ton of other nice bottle out of the same hole. There was only one yellow hostettes and the rest were deferent shades of amber. What a privy! Yet I still have to find the pontiled hole in that yard but its in the back of the yard and its all ash so I cant find it even with my five foot probe. Any ways, we dug 7 of these brain foods and I only have two left but was wondering if anyone had ever herd of it before?

Hey Tom, sounds like the land-owner liked his meds[]. I've never heard of the Brain food before but I did find a pre-digested food company [:'(] bottle once.

Somebody wake Maine Digger up. He'd have fun with this one.

Nope, its not a Harper's Brain Food. Its just says John Allen Chemist New York on one side and Brain Food on the other. Even if this bottle is worth $1 or $100 i will always keep it beacuse of the strange name and to remember the dig that it came out of with.
