Witch Hazel from Salem MA

[angemarie]

This was an interesting find. 4 FL oz with a paper label. The Words Witch Hazel at the top and a picture of a witch stirring a pot and the words "Salem chemical & Supply company". Does anyone have info about this bottle, such as it's age? The lip is beaded. I will post pics as soon as I get them (hopefully this weekend).

Thanks,
Angela

RE: Witch Hazel from Salem MA PS:

http://www.spurrierchemical.com/history/index.html I also found this site, it didnt seem like much when i started reading it, but i just went back to finish and i see they mention salem chemical, i dont know if its the same co because they dont talk about location and they changed names and expanded a lot. we'd need to see if your bottle is made by a bottle machine or not.

Hi Laura. The bottle appears to be made before 1900- no seam in the lip and there is a cork. As soon as I get a picture- I'll post it! THanks for your help.
