Wilson's Pulmonary Cherry Balsam...

[NORG]

Anybody have any info on this one? It's BIM and reads "Wilsons/Pulmonary/Cherry Balsam/J.W. Brayley/Proprietor." Any info is greatly appreciated.

hmmm, I had that listed as a cylinder. Looks like 10 or 12 panels actually?

Hi Norg -
A Bit About Balsams by Betty Blasi lists one very close to yours as #500 and like this:

500. Wilson's Pulmonary Cherry Balsam
Wilson's / Pulmonary / Cherry / Balsam J. W. Brayley / Proprietor (on five consecutive panels)

Height: 4-1/2"
Shape: 12 Sided
Color: Aqua
Lip: Square band
Base: Flat

This was advertised in the 1880's and seems to have been fairly common. (<--- This was the book's words NORG)

Thanks for the comments and info bubbas dad, Guntherhess and Flaschenjager.

Flaschenjager - Is this bottle in A Bit About Balsams? I think I have posted it before but here it goes. It has a circular embossing with "Pyny Balsam for coughs and colds/Davis and Lawrence Co. Ltd Montreal." I have never been able to find anything on this bottle and any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Norg -
Yes it is.

378. PYNY BALSAM
Pyny Balsam / For Coughs and Colds / Davis and Lawrence Co. Ltd. / The D & L
(all on face in a round, embossed seal at shoulder)

Height: 4-7/8"
Shape: Flat Oval
Color: Aqua
Lip: Prescription
Base: Flat
Variant: Same, but clear

This was being advertised in the 1880's, but the Davis and Lawrence bottles which use the style, "Lim." or "Ltd." are later than those which use "Co.". The company also put out Allen's Cough Balsam. (<--- The books words again)
