Made a house call Saturday ... Norwich pharmacy bottle & much more

[GACDIG]

Nice finds, I have been collecting Bottles with label, content and box for 10 years. I now have over 12 boxes full of them. I hope to some day build a drug store on the back of my house and fill it with what I have acquired.GAC

Thanks so much for that Liquozone history!! That's the stuff I love most about bottles. BTW, the bottle pictured in the article has a different style opening. I wonder if my bottle is older or newer than the one posted there? closer to 1890 or 1900 ? Thanks again,Ron

GAC" Here's the start to your drug store, Glenn, although it's a bit far away from you. This is for sale on craigslist, near Sacramento. ~Mike

Your Liquozone bottle looks older, the top on your bottle has a cruder look to it.

Putting new labels on old bottles was a pretty common practice back then. I dug a wine bottle out of a late thirties dump with the remains of a bleach label on it. What could possibly go wrong?
