Submitted for your approval. Guaranteed old cork top bottles-- dug up by me years ago. Guaranteed antique drug store labels-- bought by me at auction years ago.These bottles and labels did not start out life together but they are today just the way they would have looked back in the day.
Jacob Messing and his son ran a drug store/pharmacy in Stapleton , Staten Island , New York back at the turn of the century. These labels were found in the store when it was renovated over 50 years ago. they date from the 1890's.
They make great gag gifts or a nice display in a bathroom.
They range in size from 3 1/2" to 9"
Included are:
Cholera drops--3-30 drops according to the violence of the pain!
Diarrhea Mixture-- can never have too much of that !!!
Toothache Drops !
Carbolic Acid= an amber bottle with a skull and crossbones on it
Digestive Powder
Pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil= a large 9" bottle with a cod fish on the label.
Along with the bottles you will get an authentic flyer from Messings drug store. These flyers are written in English and German. The town of Stapleton had a large German population= many of whom worked in the many breweries in town. New York has always had good water-- for beer, bagels and pizza !!
Thanks for looking !
