Poor Richards Eye Water

[GuntherHess]

This is a somewhat common medicine.
MRS M G BROWN POOR RICHARD'S EYE WATER 51 BOND ST N YORK.

Mrs Brown was an interesting character who was into the metaphysical.
She started out in PA. This bottle is from here later address in NY.

I will try to post some more on her later.

I am looking for some of her early bottles from Phila or Bethlehem if anyone wants to sell or trade them. They are typically clear flint with applied lips.

I added some additional info on Mrs M G Brown if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the info! I see you found my picture on Flickr []. Sorry I can't offer them to you, they're one of my favorite trios! I also have a huge label only Poor Richard's bottle (only partial label) that pictures an eye and claims to cure blindness. I wish you luck in completing your collection.

I wasnt planning on collecting them I was just trying to round up examples for study and photos. I just happened to pick up the one pictured above. I assume you have that one already since its a later more common example?
