MEd. Bottles

[creich9]

Hello I am new to this site so please bear with me on trying to figure this out. I do not have a camera to be able to take pictures to put on here but will work on that. I found 2 bottles at work today and was wondering if anyone could give me some backround on them. The first one is 7" tall and on the front it says
BURNETT'S
COCAINE
and onthe one of the sides it says Boston.
The other is about 11" and says Hazard&Caswell and then one side says Chemist and the other says New-Port R.I.
Any help will be appreciated and I will try and get some pics uploaded later

Thanks

Take a closer look, it should read "Cocoaine" not Cocaine. It was half cocoanut oil and half cologne water (whatever that is). It was a hair product.

Does yours have an open pontil on the bottom? If so, I believe it is worth about 50 dollars. 20 dollars with no pontil.

You are corectt on the spelling but what is a pontil

Take a look at this webpage: http://www.sha.org/bottle/pontil_scars.htm

This webpage talks about the different types of pontil marks. If your has a pontil mark, it will be an "open" pontil. You'll see a picture of one here.

Hazard&Caswell

Here is some history on the other bottle you found. (where is everyone at today? normally members will be all over these types of posts). Anyway, here is the link: http://www.littlerhodybottleclub.org/research/hazardcaswell.html
