This page is all about my Medication bottles.  These bottles vary greatly in size, purpose, age, and style.  One bottle here tells a very interesting story because of the remainder of the paper label that was applied when a prescription was filled.  I hope you find these bottles as intriguing as I do.  If you are interested in seeing one of the pictures larger, just click on it and a larger picture will open in its own little window.  Please enjoy your visit to my site. Thank you.

 
 
Cattle Medication Bottles

 These two bottle are believed to be one of a kind. Both were found when my aunt was building her house on a vacant lot.  The one to the left measures 3.25" tall with a max circumference of 2.9375".  The words "B. A. FAHNEDSTOCK'S VERMIFUCE" are embossed vertically on the side of the bottle.  The bottle to the right measure 4.0625" tall by 1.25" wide by .625" thick.  The volume of both bottles is unknown. I found that these bottles were used for cattle medication when I questioned my grandfather about them.  He was born in 1918.

Hicks Capudine Bottle
I would like to thank Suzanne for information to the history behind this awsome bottle.

It is interesting to find out how people were treated a long time ago.  This bottle lets us pear into the pass a little and just get an idea of what it was like.  This bottle was produced for Hicks Capudine.  The medication was created by Henry T. Hicks in Raleigh, North Carolina.  It was manufactured during the early decades of the last century. I have no idea what capudine really is but the uses are quite interesting.  The words "FOR ALL HEADACHES, COLDS, CRIPP, ETC" is embossed on the front of the bottle vertically as well as "HICKS CAPUDINE."  I don't' know about you but I have never heard of a medication that could cure headaches, colds, cripps and etc.  that must have been some powerful stuff.  Suzanne Hicks, the great-grand daughter of Henry T. Hicks tells me that it did, in fact, cure headaches, flu, etc. and was also advertised to "calm nerves," but keep in mind that there was no FDA -- or other controls -- back then, so the ingredients were naturally stronger.  The only other marking that this bottle has is a small "C" at the bottom of the bottle on the back side. Its purpose is not known.  This bottle measures 6..75" tall by 2.25" wide by 1.25" thick and holds an unknown volume. This bottle was sealed with a cork.

Dr. C. H. Tichenor's Antiseptic Refrigerant Bottles

These two bottles are really nice.  The one to the left has "DR. C. H. TICHENOR'S ANTISEPTIC REFRIGERANT" embossed on the front.  On the left side it has "NEW ORLEANS, U.S.A" and on the right side it has "DR. C. H. TICHENOR" embossed on it.  This bottle measures 4.5" tall by 1.6875" wide by 1.25" thick and holds an unknown volume.  The bottle to the right is also of the same kind.  There is nothing embossed on the front but on the left side is "ANTISEPTIC" and on the right side is "DR. TICHENOR".  This bottle measures 4.6875" tall by 1.625" wide by 1.875" thick and holds an unknown volume.  Both bottles have a very similar shape, they only very by dimensions and both were sealed with corks.

Kaplan Drug Store Medication Bottle With Prescription Label (1929)

This bottle is truly one of a kind.  The bottle is a standard medication bottle produced by Owens.  What makes this bottle so unique is the label and cork.  It is very rare to find a bottle like this.  Most of the label is still there is still in tact.  The bottle was used by Kaplan Drug Store in Kaplan, LA. the medication was issued to a Mrs. Ramy Boudreaux.  On the back of the bottle is the measurements for the amount the bottle can hold.  The bottle measures 6.5" tall by 2.625" wide and 1.5" thick and hold up to 160 CC or 160 ml.  It is really cool to have a bottle like this one.

Cobalt Blue Bottles

These are two beautiful bottles.  Cobalt blue bottles are highly collectible.  The on to the left has "BROMO-SELTZER EMERSON DRUG CO BALTIMORE, MD.  The bottle was produced in the early 50's or before. This bottle measure 2.625" tall with a max circumference of 3.75" and holds an unknown volume.  The bottle to the right is also a cobalt blue bottle with a very similar shape.  The bottle has no writing of any type anywhere on it.  It measures 2.625" tall with a max circumference of 3..6875" and holds an unknown volume.  I believe that both were sealed with a cork.

This is an old Listerine bottle.  Listerine was originally sold by different pharmaceutical companies.  This bottle was produced for the Lambert Pharmacal Company. "LISTERINE" is embossed on the side of the bottle just below the neck.  "LAMBERT PHARMACAL COMPANY" is embossed on the side of the bottle just above the bottom. This bottle measures 5.3125" tall with a max circumference of 7.25" and holds an unknown volume.  The bottle was sealed with a cork.

Moseley Robinson Drug Company Medication Bottle

This is a pretty medication bottle.  It was produced for the Moseley Robinson Drug Company.  The text embossed on the bottle reads "MOSELEY ROBINSON DRUG CO.," "FOR PARTICULAR PEOPLE," " NO 1. 105 S. MAIN ST.," "NO 2. MAIN & MADISON."  The text is in a vertical position.  On each side of the main text there is volume measurement.  Just below the neck of the bottle, "3iv" is embossed.  The bottle has three flat sides and a slightly curved side.  I will cal this bottle square.  This bottle measures 5.5625" tall by 2.25" wide and 1.375" thick.  The bottle was sealed with a cork.

Norman Pharmacy Company Medication Bottle

This bottle is also a Louisiana bottle.  It was produced by the L M T Company out of New York for the Norman Pharmacy Company LTD.  The company was in Kentwood, LA.  The text embossed on the bottle reads "THE NORMAN PHARMACY CO.

This bottle was sealed with a cork.

This bottle is from Boston.  It was originally made for the Whittemore company in Boston.  The bottle has "5 FLUID OZ." embossed across the top of it just below the neck..  In the center of the front of the bottle, "WHITTEMORE BOSTON U.S.A" is embossed in a vertical position.  This square bottle measures 5.5" tall by 2.5" wide and 1.875" thick.  The bottle must have been sealed with a very large cork for no other types of sealing seam possible.
