Its interesting, I put a few bottles on my office window sill ( https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-212568/mpage-1/key-/tm.htm#212568 ) and people come in, see them and bring me more bottles. Recently, A co-worker brought me these, she said her husband has boxes of them under the house, so she brought me a few. the top one is embossed " Clove's Imperial Medicine", " New York" and "H Clay Clover Co", it seems to be vet medicine.
The middle one is embossed " Gray Chemical Company Manufacturing Chemists Newark, NJ" and " Embalming Fluid Specialists" There is a 1938 Owens mark on the bottom.
The bottom one is unmarked except for an Owens mark dating to 1935 I think.
The one on the right is a half pint Milk from Charleston, WV, The city is embossed on the shoulder over a KMD logo which on the bottom stands for Kanawha Milk Dealers Assn.
My question is that I found very little info on any of them, so are they common and boring to the point of tears, or are they just not well known? Are any of them particularly interesting? I will post a picture next of the embalming fluid bottle shoulder which is embossed with an Eagle.
Any info appreciated,
Charles

Hello epackjr. At one time I bought an old building that had been a post office and an undertakers show room and storage in the basement. In the process I ended up with a lot of bottles that held embalming fluids, and other chemicals used in the trade. They are still in storage and I hope to list some on eBay this next summer.
I didn't see any that looked like your pictured jar. RED Matthews

Hey Charles,

The amber Glover's is a Dog Medicine from Henry Clay Glover, the man that brought us Imperial Sarcoptic Mange Medicine,

RVA1337GG178.jpg
From.

He made a full line of Dog Remedies. My favorite is the Distemper Remedy, very smooth & soothing... The Rare one is "Glover's Imperial Remedy For Sore Feet In Dogs." There's an excellent article about Glovers in the Spring 2004 Bottles and Extras.

"Glover's Imperial Mange Medicine. Contained creosote. Herpicide. Contained carbolic and salicylic acids." AND has been deemed "NOT ACCEPTABLE" as a cure for baldness, ovar @ this place.

I would have been delighted had anyone brought me those three.

PS: Is this place great, or what! Where else on the internet can you discuss Milk and Embalming Fluid in the same post?
