I bought this years ago as part of a "Civil War era" bottle lot. Does anyone have any idea what might have been in this one? Either pretty powerful or just a sample bottle.
Aqua, open pontil, thin flarred lip.
Think: "Carter's Little Liver Pills" and you can imagine the type of product that it contained. It's manufacture date is pre-civil war, 1840 - 50, perhaps earlier, was a utility type bottle which could be filled with anything of the proper size or viscosity and filled by any type of merchant. Nice early piece.
