Is this label original?

If it is,guess who's gonna own it?[]

I'm pretty sure its real(I doubt anybody is going to fake a label from here),but I'm always a little wary of bottles with labels.I just don't know how to tell a fake label from original.www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-BROWN-GLASS-HARVEY-Apothecary-Bottle-Jar-w-Label-Kosciusk-Miss-/360451527134?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ec95d1de

It looks good to me.. the bottle is likely European though, the 400 likely means 400ml, equal to around 14oz..

So this isn't the original bottle?Just original label?

The label looks original to me. IT doesnt read "GUM KING"[] it is Gum Kino which is somewhat similar to witch hazel I believe.
Looks like a fairly late bottle, maybe 1st or 2nd decade of 20th century.

So the bottle isn't original to the label?

Antiquemeds-Good to know,I was wondering what in the world GUM KING was[8|]

I find it funny this person thinks the bottle is from Kosciusk,Miss.[]

The drug store owner may have ordered bottles from overseas to save money, I think the bottle is right as rain. If it were a Paterson bottle I'd be a bidder...

I think it is original to the bottle...I bought a large lot of New Hampshire labeled pharmacy bottles right out of the basement of the old pharmacy they were from and they were all these amber European bottles...they had been inventoried and had pharmacy inventoy labels on them along with the normal labels and the inventory labels were all dated between 1917 and 1929.

I expect there was a lot of European stuff coming through New Orleans.

Thanks folks,looks like I'll be bidding on it.

Well,after looking at the label closer I discovered something kinda interesting,the label says the drugstore is located at the "Cor. of Jefferson & Washington"

Just one problem,There is no corner of Jefferson & Washington Streets.They're located on opposite sides of the Square,So I guess this is a misprint?
