Robert Turlington's Balsam Of Life

[cowseatmaize]

Yes, before you catch me out again ([]),

Of coarse I knew that you knew that.[] No offense intended. Some people still believe what they read. Some people still believe everything after 1909 was machine made.[]

...just abit of fun, here's one I have with "snake oil" contents..obviously re-used

for those that can't quite see, that's a rattlesnake rattle floating near the top, and a claw at the bottom.
When it gets cold the oil in there coagulates into creamy blobs. I think it is fairly original, at least I paid no more for it than any bog standard non pontilled late American Turlington, so nobody made any money by doing it. It's proper old pack thread and genuine buckskin on top.

The updated chart.

Also, we do not go back much further to see advertisements for medicines illustrating plainly freeblown phials and similar shapes, obviously not embossed. One example I'll look out being 1727, obviously standard practice for the period.

There you go...freeblown phials/utilities etc for pre 1740 meds..
