Clare
'Patent Medicine' bottle collector
Joining my collection today are...
(I know that none of these bottles are rare or valuable. I just enjoy looking at them and researching them)
Tablespoons - I know these are very common, but this is my first one. It is definitely post 1900s, but is that a pontil scar on its base? The base also has a large number 4 and A2 on it.
Mason's Wine Essence, Nottingham - The base does not have any markings.
Chameleon Oil - The bottle states that it 'relieves pain' and to 'shake the bottle thoroughly'. The base has 2135 on it.
Beetham's Glycerine & Cucumber - A not very PC product, claiming to give women "soft white skin"! The base has the markings 5536 and the letter J.
Hind's Honey and Almond Cream - The base states 'A.S Hinds Ltd.'
IZAL - The post 1900s bottle has the lid and screw top in situ. The base has (from top to bottom) REC, 8 and 1893 on it. It also still smells VERY strongly of the contents upon removing the lid!
Bottled by Jeyes - Again, a very common bottle. Personally, I just liked the 'dessert spoons' and 'table spoons' written down each side. The base has (from top to bottom) Q1191, 3 and C.T.G on it.
Now for the cleaning!
