No worries Sandchip, it was fun to sleuth through old newspapers looking for ads. It would be great to find a resource that shows the evolution of a specific company's glass container history, to observe the changes in design over the years.Dan, I apologize for the misleading wording in my comment. In the book, Patent and Proprietary Medicine Bottles by Joseph K. Baldwin, the author mentions only the name of the newspaper and the date that it appeared. He didn't show any actual images of the ads. The one he listed for Radway's appeared in the New York Daily Times, January 26, 1852. Some of the online resources for early newspapers may show the actual ad. Hope this helps.
