I think it's authentic, a kind of bitters from TOC or more likely a bit later. I'll have to look it up.
Nice cobalt at any rate!

I think it's authentic also. That's not something that would be reproduced at all and certainly not to that detail. Nice looking find.

Neuropin

Its an authentic old medicine but all the ones I have seen have been clear.
I'm suspecting that one has been irradiated more than George Hamilton[]

Hey Tony,

Might this have received a bit of "Nuking"?

I saw 2 references to it as a clear glass bottle.

This One just sold for $29.99.

"Up for auction is a super nice Bitters bottle. On one side it is embossed Deponirt/ Neuropin/ trademark registered and on the other side D. Jassnik Austria/ J.B. Scheuer Co./ Chicago U.S.A. In the front is a nice original label that is about 99% complete and the back one being 100% complete. A very clean original undug clear glass blown bottle made around the turn of the century. The bottle measures about 11 1/4" high. I just noticed on the bottom of the front label it reads Guaranteed by J.B.Scheuer Co. under the National pure food and drug act. which would date this around 1906-1910 era." From Worthlesspoint.

From.

Matt is on to something here. I looked around a bit and clear seams the color. The first pic looks a good cobalt, the second looks more the deep violet of irradiation.
There must have been a ^&%# ton of manganese in that batch to turn it that dark.
It's still very nice IMO.
The stomach bitters as a before or after dinner cordial are not the bitters sought by bitters collectors so that drops interest dramatically.
