Rare Missouri Meds

Wow, bottles can't get much better than those! Thanks for taking the time to photograph and post them, I'll probably never actually see any in person.

They are all pretty outstanding, but I'd be going for the Telegraph Tonic personally. []

I love the Telegraph tonic too, but this guy really has a cool shape to him...[]

I know Stephen, I love the name and it's really a great looking bottle for sure. Some of these early St. Louis ones just aren't seen. Even in the incredible Sam Greer collection as well as others. There are some fantastic bottles out there tied up in longtime collections, and I think it's always great when you get a chance to see stuff that you didn't know existed. []

Joe, the Monroe is unusual in form with that type body and having that style top. It's as found as you can see like many of these that's never been cleaned. The photos sort of show it, but it's kind of a light lime color under the stain.

I know this one is not a medicine but close enough. Vertically embossed on the back side HOFFMANN'S CEYLON BITTERS and on the front in a seal E.A. DAMON'S AGTS ST LOUIS. I think this one is a only one know also.
