the baby killer was part cause it actually contained morphine.

Helped calm the young one down a bit... Sometimes a bit too down...

"She went running for the shelter of her Mothers little helper".

Another bottle considered a (bad) baby product was teething solutions. They were thought to be a major cause of Autism.

I have an english bottle... I will pic it and send it...

Actually it is a powder.. Pritchards.

You could start a collection of baby killer bottles, as there are an abundance of variety That would be an interesting collection.

That rum looks like the blower was drinking some rum when he blew it.
Free blown bottles always have nice charactor to them.

He probably was as drinking as he worked as most people consumed alcohol on a daily basis in the late 1700 to 1800's. Ethan Allen's and Seth Warner's Green Mt. Boys, drank stonewalls, a mixture of hard cider and rum, probably out of a bottle similar to the one on top. It is a keeper and has great character.
