Dr. Peter Fahrney & Sons Forni's Alpenkrauter Blutbeleber Bottle.

This 9" tall bottle contained Forni's Alpenkrauter Blutbeleber, which is roughly translated into Mountain Flower Blood Vitalizer.  Dr. Peter Fahrney began production of this in 1869 and moved his business to an elaborate factory in Chicago in the 1890's.  He and his sons produced this Blutbeleber based on an early family recipe, as well as other patent medicines.

Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil Bottles.

These two bottles contained the world famous Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil With Lime and Soda.  They both have the great embossed logo of a fisherman carrying a large cod on his back.  These bottles are quite common but I still love that logo!  Scott's Emulsion was the brainchild of Alfred B. Scott and Samuel W. Browne.  They started making this concotion in 1876 in New York City.  The tall bottle measures some 9 1/2" and the smaller one 7 1/2".

Beach-Greer Chemical Co. Bottle.

This bottle is a bit of a mystery to me, as I have not been able to find out anything about it, other than what is printed on it. The 4" amber bottle reads BEACH-GREER CHEMICAL CO. SAN JOSE, CAL.

Penslar Bottles.

Here are a variety of Penslar bottles, ranging in size from the smallest at 4 1/4" tall (2 fl. oz. size)  to the tallest, at 8" tall (16 oz. size).  The Penslar company made a variety of products, from kidney pills to ladies toiletries. Penslar was a brand used by the Peninsular Chemical Co. of Detroit, Michigan, with an additional plant in Walkerville, Ontario.  The company apparently ran from 1907 to 1965.

Wampole Bottle

In 1893, William Koch Wampole began his cod liver oil business in Toronto.  Wampole's now makes a wide range of herbal and natural products. What was in this particular 8 3/4" tall bottle I don't know.

Eno's Fruit Salt

Eno's Fruit Salt was invented by James Crossley Eno in the 1850's in Newcastle, England.  It was apparently popular with sick sailors.  It is of course the predecessor to the popular modern stomach remedy, Eno.  This aqua-coloured bottle measures 7" tall, and appears to be an older variant with an uneven lip ring.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

This 8 1/2" tall bottle contained some of Lydia E. Pinham's Vegetable Compound, a popular patent medicine for all manner of "female complaints".  Lydia Pinkham began commercially producing her remedies in 1875, and a year later her elixirs were mass-marketed and widely received.  Apparently her Vegetable Compound became a popular drink during Prohibition times, due to its alcohol content, and even spawned some ribald drinking songs.

Dr. Thompson's Eye Water New London, Conneticut

This 3 3/4" bottle appears to be a later variant of Dr. Thompson's Eye Water, perhaps from the early 1900's ?  Included in this post are some early trade cards advertising this amazing eye ailment cure!

Daddie's Favourite Sauce

This bottle once contained Daddie's Favourite Sauce, a brand of brown sauce sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland.  The company began producing the brown sauce in 1904 and then began to make a line of ketchup as well in the 1930's.  Daddie's Favourite was similar to HP Sauce, but without tamarind or tomatoes.  Today the company is owned by the HJ Heinz Company.

The bottle is almost 5 1/2" tall, and it appears to be an early example with a sheared lip at the top.

Mason's Wine Essences Nottingham

                                               

This is a 5" tall aqua bottle.

Cobalt Bromo Seltzer Bottle, Emerson Drug Co., Maryland

This bottle contained Bromo Seltzer, made by the Emerson Drug Company, out of Maryland, U.S.A.  I'm not too sure if it would have came in pill or powder form.  The bottle has a wonderful cobalt colour and it measures some 5" tall.

1960's Coca-Cola Bottles.

These two bottles represent the classic Coke bottle design.  I found these at an old dump site that was being turned into a park trail system.  They were part of a much larger group of bottles found at this site.  They're really not worth much money wise, but I think that this is the iconic Coke bottle design.
