Hi all,
I came across this bottle at an antique shop in Maine. I haven't been able to find out much about it other than an obscure scientific paper from 1899 about Nirvanin being used as a dental anesthetic and a blurb that it was discontinued in favor of cocaine in the early 1900's. I also came across the German manufacturer, Farbwerke vorm Meister Lucius und Brüning, as having made industrial dyes and pharmaceuticals. The bottle is about 2.5" tall, has no visible mold line, no embossing or markings on the glass, is corked, and has a tan crystalline substance inside. Anyone seen these bottles/labels before? Not sure if it's real or a replica, but a cool find either way - would love to learn more if there is more to know!
