Some Labeled Bottles

Not really sure what this was for ?!

That is a very unique shape!

I've always felt that labels distract from the beauty of the glass, BUT they can provide valuable historical info. that isn't embossed on the glass, eg. proprietor or location the bottle came from. Here are a few locals from my collection. The first is a smelling salts, very hard to find with the stopper.....

This one was found behind a wall in a house in the "'hood" pontiled Corbins Summer Complaint (cholera) Tincture Syracuse NY (note the miss-spelled Corbins on the label)

My neighbor and babysitter found this in her attic. Without the label I would have never known it was a "local" bottle...

This is the last one. There is another Fowler bottle, Dr A Fowler's Anti- Epicholic Canton NY. that everyone assumed was from Canton in northern NY. Until I bought this open pontiled, embossed Dr A Fowler Syracuse NY with the label nobody knew what the contents were (extract of wild strawberry) but it also listed Canton NY Onondaga County (near Syracuse) as where it was made. Apparently at one time there were 2 Canton NYs, the one near Syracuse changed to Memphis NY, so both Dr Fowlers bottles are locals.
