Nikoteen bottle

[wasartjr]

I am new to this, but we found an old dairy farm dump on our land and have begun digging. We have lots of bottles, old milk cans, gas lamp parts etc. Most of the stuff looks like early 1900's but this bottle seems older than the rest and we can find nothing on the net about "Nikoteen." Anyone know the product and date. Once we have had a chance to clean this stuff up we will post some pics.

Thanks,

That's a neat bottle! I've never seen one. It looks like it's from about 1890. There would be some interest in that if you ever wanted to sell it, because of the awesome name.

Nikoteen was definitely a medicine that maybe contained nicotine. Like Mr. Gray said, it's from around 1890, although it looks like it might be ABM, which would make it c. 1910, but I can't tell.[]

Thanks for the info.

What does ABM mean?

Automatic Bottle Machine.[]

Thanks again diggerboy, is there any way to tell if it is ABM?

 

[TheDiggerBoy91]

Yes. If the mold seams go over the lip, it's ABM.[]

One sold not too long ago for $28.

Mold seams end about half way up the neck and the bottle neck actually gets a little thicker there. None of the bottles I am finding have mold seams that go up to the lip. There are numerous medicine bottles in there with the name Best on the bottom. Does anyone know that name. It must be common since I have 8 or 9 by now. I'll keep digging!!
