Two new open pontil medicines for the collection

[martyfoley]

Hi Folks; Just though I'd fill ya in on two new additions to the collection. Both are open pontil.
First is a "Shaker Fluid Extract Valerian", the second is a "Dr. Hawks Universal Stimulant". Both purchased on eBay. I like to collect the open pontil medicines. These are small bottles standing only approx 4 inches tall. I thought they were nice examples. Thanks for looking!

Very nice New Hampshire bottles! This version of the Hawks comes in two sizes with the large size being super rare. Are you focusing on New Hampshire stuff or was that a coincidence?

Just coincidence nhpharm. They were both available at what I thought were reasonable prices for the nice condition they are in from the same seller so I was able to combine shipping and save some money. I didn't realize the Dr. Hawks was a NH bottle. Learn something new everyday!

Yep. It's from Manchester, New Hampshire. The Shaker bottle is from Enfield, New Hampshire.

Thanks for the information. How tall is the rarer larger size, Dr. Hawks and its approx value?

It's just over 5.5" tall. Below is a photo of all of the pontiled Hawks bottles that I am aware of. The large size of the Universal Stimulant is probably a $400+ bottle to the right person...they are super hard to find.
