Hello Mike; Nice glass - It would be interesting to know more about the embossing I didn't see a single one that I have. I have never gotten into a lot of the meds. Thanks for helping Matt, also. RED M.

Matt,

These are all early (1830-50s) colored New England medicines. They are larger, desirable bottles which do not show up on a regular basis. Actually, a couple of them are "less than a handful" known. Here is some of the embossing...

Chapman's Genuine
This is a large Boston bottle produced at Stoddard, NH

Prepared By William Coe
This is a Worcester bottle that was a horse liniment produced at either Stoddard, NH or Coventry, CT

E. Horton
This is a NY bottle that contained an Indian extract probably produced at Mt Vernon, NY

Howard's Vegetable Cancer & Canker Syrup
This Boston bottle has great embossing and produced at Stoddard, NH

Pair of Stephen Jewett's Health Restoring Bitters
Jewett lived in Rindge NH but operated out of Boston. Bottle produced at Keene, NH and Stoddard, NH. Note the two different molds.

Pair of JQ Hill Apothecary bottles
Worcester bottles produced at Stoddard, NH or Coventry, CT. As far as I know the small one is the only known.

I. Newton's Blood Purifier and Panacea
A rare Norwich VT bottle produced at Stoddard, NH

GW Stone's Liquid Carthartic & Family Physic
This is a large Lowell MA bottle produced at Stoddard, NH

I thought I saw an I. Newton's Panacea Purifier of the blood, there.
The broken one I dug was a green colored one.

Woody, Those would be some shards worth saving!

It seems to be the same style of mold as a Swaims Panacea.
