Yup, again a Gilbert Bros product.

Note thats a hand blown bottle and it has the F&D Act notice on it. Probably not made to long after 1906.

ORIGINAL: GuntherHess

Gilbert Bros made quite a few different medicines. The liniment was sold in those large oval long necked flasks that you see quite often.
They even sold a smoking cure called ANTI-FAG in an amber bromo-looking bottle.

Here's an ANTI-FAG that I dug recently. I didn't know what it was used for. Now I do. Thanks for the education.

I sold an ANTI-FAG bottle like that not too long ago. Smoking and drinking cures always sell pretty well.

I've noticed that several people are putting links to ebay auctions that they have running. I've listed the Gilbert label under glass medicine bottle. Here's the link. If this is not proper please advise not only me but others too.

I always stick them under ...
Current Auctions and Sales
... even though the category description is a bit vague.
People are pretty laid back in this forum and you dont get kicked out for trying to sell stuff like some other forums I wont mention.

You might want to clarify "label under glass". With bottles it has it's own meaning and you don't want any headaches from bidders. This is a two sided label if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Matt can find the words.

ya, label under glass (LUG) generally has a very different meaning. I'm not sure what you would call it but its not LUG. Double sided label seams reasonable.
