Old ELIXIR of OPIUM bottle POSTER CHILD of QUACK MED bottles ORIGINAL labels:
$99.99

This listing is for a bottle that has part of the labels still wrapped around it. (See below NOTE ***) The pictures of the bottle with no label are just to fully show what the bottle looks like that is under the label!
A4 3/8 inch tall cylinder-shaped light TURQUOISE AQUA MARINE colored antique OPIUM ELIXIR patent medicine bottle. The bottle still has a portion of the original label that it was originally wrapped in. NOTE ***that a small cache of these were found back east, in a crawl space in the basement of an ancient old house. Obviously a tenant back in the 1800\'s became addicted to the opium and discarded these bottles, and out of a heap of broken glass, about a dozen of these bottles were whole and still retained remnants of the label surrounding the bottle. None of them has full perfect labels but all had remnants of the labels, as you see. So we photo\'d just a few of them since they are all the exact same bottle, but with differing amounts of the label on them. The point is, this listing is for one of them, not the exact one photo\'d but the exact same bottle with some part of the label still remaining, similar to what is in the picture. This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating well OVER 100 YEARS OLD, more like from the late 1800\'s.

Bottle embossed: \"Dr. McMunn\'s / Elixir of Opium\".
Condition: This bottle is in EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION. It has NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. PLEASE see note that the bottle for sale here is not the one in the pictures. What is GREAT about THIS example is that the embossing is VERY BOLD, VERY STRONG and CRISP. This is not always the case with these bottles, it seems that the majority of them are very lightly embossed to the point of hardly being able to read. Not this one, the embossing is very BOLD.
Age: An ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. late-1800\'s.
Shipping: FREE domestic shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.

As the title says, this bottle is the POSTER CHILD of antique QUACK MEDICINE bottles, as very few antique bottles actually have a narcotic ingredient embossed on it as this one does. It is still wrapped in part of its original tattered label/wrapper. NOTE that a small cache of these were found back east, in a crawl space in the basement of an ancient old house. Obviously a tenant back in the 1800\'s became addicted to the opium and discarded these bottles, and out of a heap of broken glass, about a dozen of these bottles were whole and still retained remnants of the label surrounding the bottle. So we photo\'d just a few of them since they are all the exact same bottle, but with differing amounts of the label on them. The point is, this listing is for one of them, not the exact one photo\'d but the exact bottle with part of the label still remaining, similar to what is in the picture.This one is BOLDLY embossed and is a great example of anoriginal opium laced patent medicine bottle, check it out!
