R. C. & E. New York ??

Here we have a circa 1900, BIM, tooled mouth, 16 oz, cobalt blue bottle.

Anybody know who this might be? R. C. & E. New York ??

Great looking old med bottle! Not sure on the manufacturer though.

They sold booze for sure. Dad dug a cobalt cylinder whiskey form with those same initials years ago. Never did figure out who they were. The bottle is long since traded off for an ink

Reed, Carnrick & Edwards, NEW YORK!!! I think that was a VERY short-lived company name variation of "Reed and Carnrick" There is one clear bottle on etsy with that embossing. Looks similar to shoe polish bottles.

Great job on the ID DavidW! Here's a bit more info on Reed, Carnick & Edwards from an 1873 ad. Definitely a medicine company:

The Physician and Bulletin of the Medico-Legal Society
