Pattern: Antique Medicine Bottle / Apothecary / Pharmaceutical Bottle, Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine 14 1/2 ozs.
Made in USA
Antique: 1900 - 1920 (estimated)
Details: This bottle contained Lydia E. Pinkham's Medicine which was nothing but a concoction of bitter tasting roots, herbs and lots of alcohol, that Ms. Pinkham sold for women's menstrual and menopausal problems. This is a clear bottle, looks to be molded (has 2 seams), cork closure, and embossed lettering. It has a pontil mark with a number 6. However, we are not experts, so please do your own research if the bottle date is important to you. Lydia mass marketed her potion starting in 1876, called, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it's actually still being sold today, although the recipe has been altered greatly. Would make a nice gift for a bottle collector, a history buff, or for display in a bathroom. A collection of old bottles makes a cool display on a windowsill or used as vases for flowers.
