Description

RARE 1870 AQUA POOR MAN'S FAMILY BITTERS EMBOSSED BOTTLE WITH ORIGINAL LABEL OSWEGO, NEW YORK IN AMAZING CONDITION RIGHT OUT OF FULL CASE BOX
This is an antique aqua glass embossed bottle with original paper label from 1870. Bottle is for “Poor Man’s Family Bitters”. Bottle has a wrap-around front label and embossing of “Poor Man’s Family Bitters” on the back side. The beautiful label tells all the afflictions this cure-all was used for and directions for use. Antique bottle came right out of a full case which still had the sawdust packing inside of it. This bottle is in about as perfect condition as could be as it comes with the label never having seen daylight until now. Medicine bottle has no chips or cracks and has a cork-top. The original contents are still inside, as well, which is hard to find. The top has a proprietary stamp on it dated November 11, 1870. This bottle was produced 5 years after the Civil War ended. They put these stamps on items back then to raise money for the wounded veterans of the war. Product was “manufactured by Poor Man’s Bitters Company Oswego, N.Y.”. Please see pictures for the look of this lovely bottle. It measures 6 and 1/4″ tall by 2 and 3/4″ wide by 1 and 3/4″ thick. You won’t find antique bottles in this pristine condition very often. Don’t miss out on owning your very own piece of history. Very old aqua embossed labeled medicine bottle would be great for display in your collection. Don't miss it!
