I found a Konjola bottle on eBay that has the paper label - Item number: 6221914437 for Mosby's Konjola is in the completed auctions. The auction description reads: Paper label on embossed bottle. Embossed picture of man's head on reverse side. Original screw top. 10 ounces, manufactured by Mosby Medicine Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.

A bit of additional info ~ look at #449 for a 1928 ad. It's about 1/2 way down this page (which takes a while to load).

Hi Christine, nice bottles. Konjola is a fancy brand name for mineral oil. Different brands use different additives ,turpentine,pariffin,mineral spirits and flavorings to try and make there product more palitable so more people would choke there children half to death with foul mess. Used to blow out the pipes and I'd bet it worked[&:]

other brands; Nujol,Nu-joli,Joli Oil, the list goes on and on[:'(]
