Extract of Jamaica Ginger

[Lordbud]

Here is a local extract up for auction on the 'bay:

I'd post this under the auctions category but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of activity there...

Anyone have a photo of the aqua blue smaller one? Have dug them here in NW Penn.

I have a labeled Sanfords Ginger you can have if you want it. Its early ABM but has good labels on it. Its a patent medicine , not a food bottle.

Matt, you don't fool around! That thing got here QUICK! Again, THANK YOU very much. This is not the same as the unlabeled one I said I have. This one is completely new for me and it is an unusual smaller size than any of the other Ginger extracts that I have, it's only 4 7/8" tall. It has "2 OZS" embossed around the neck. This one goes into my "Jake" collection despite the shape and the word extract. 90% alocohol, this is most defineatly a "Jake". I wish the labeled one I posted earlier in this thread had the ingredients listed.

Another Jake and a matching shot glass

Here is another "jake". This one is a ginger cordial and I even found (on eBay) a matching shot glass to go with it. The picture shows the two side views with the embossing and the front where the label would have gone.

Nice Jakes, Tim. I like the unusual shape of the Hine bottle. The matching embossed shot glass is cool, too. ~Jim

just an extract, ie. flavoring.

I think you are correct, its just a flavoring extract. Not a patent medicine.
You can see on the label it was sold with other food extracts.

Wood was a prolific manufacturer, you could probably build a whole collection of just thier products.

So did this end up in your extract collection or your jake collection...?

Jason, the "N. Wood Extract of Jamaica Ginger" ended up in the food category. There are no ingredients listed on the label to show an alcohol content and the bottom of the label has other food flavoring extracts listed.

I did learn however, thanks to an "extract" that Matt gave me, that some "extracts" do fall into the "Jake" category. The one he gave me says EXTRACT OF GINGER but it has a 90% alcohol content, no doubt at all what that was used for.
