Keeley's Gold Cure

[CanYaDigIt]

I got this bottle the other day. It's embossed on the shoulder K.G.C., which I'm fairly certain is Keeley's Gold Cure. The patent date is embossed on the base too. My question is do all the Keeley's have the pour spout lip? I've seen the Cure for Drunkenness and Tobacco Habit with the killer embossing. I think I remember one for morphine or heroin addiction too, but not 100% on that. Do you think this was a paper label version of one of those? I really like the shape too. Is there a practical reason for the two flat sides? Perhaps the product was really thick and resting on its side would allow it to settle closer to the top? Thanks

That is an interesting version. All the bottles had paper labels.
Some had pour spouts some didnt. Some bottles werent embossed at all.
I dont think the shape of the bottle had much to do with the contents.

You might find some info in my medicine guide. I need to add your version.

Interesting. I just found one Monday unembossed except for the KGC on the shoulder.

ya I saw that Dan. Interesting. If you decide to sell it let me know , I like Keeleys bottles.
Is yours a pour spout?

 

[Staunton Dan]

Yes, it was a pour spout but unfortunately as I previously stated, it had an internal crack in it and I tossed it after I took the on site photo. Sorry. Maybe another one will show up. If so, it's yours.

Hey Gunth, I'm not sure what the value would be on this version. And it's pretty heavily etched, but if you want it it's yours. PM me with that you think a fair price for it would be. No chips or cracks, just the staining.
