Good day all!

Not sure what to do with this one. I know nothing about it, and it doesn't exactly fit in with what I collect, so I've listed it on the ePlace. Take a gander... what ever that means.

All the best!

I got a weird log in.
Seems like a scam ebay log in?
Is it just me?

It came up invalid item

 

[SergioWilkins]

Hmm - maybe try again in a few hours. It's not scheduled to open until 9:00 PM. Maybe that's it?
Either way - here it is;

Ebay says it has been lifted.

Can you post a pic of it in here?

 

[SergioWilkins]

Maybe it works now? Shows up fine on my computer, but that could be because I'm the seller. Either way, here's a photo.

The half I can see in the pic looks pretty good. It looks like a Druggist Bottle. What exactly does it say on it?

 

[wvbottlehead]

I think thats a PA bottle

The embossing is all on the front half. It reads;

"HARVEY H. MENTZER / APOTHECARY / GERMANTOWN"

And on the base;

"W.T.Co. / B / U.S.A."

It's definitely a druggist, but I have no idea where it's from. Pennsylvania, you say?
Here's another photo showing the damage. And here's the link again. Does it work now?
