Set of Two Vintage Amber Glass Apothecary Bottles by Owens-Illinois Glass Co.
$250.00
Set of two vintage American amber glass apothecary/medicine bottles known as “Druggist’s Packing Bottles” coined by the Illinois Glass Company, an early producer in the US of these particular bottles. Both of these examples were manufactured by Owens-Illinois Glass Co. of Toledo Ohio, evidenced by the brand cypher present to the reverse (ca. 1930, USA).
Composed of ‘blown-to-mold’ glass, a method accepted as ‘hand-blowing’, exhibiting a smattering of bubbles within the glass itself (molds were incorporated in manufacturing and hand-finished). Further, amber glass was used to protect light-sensitive materials.
One of the two bottles retains the “Kenney Pharmacy 156 Lisbon Street Lewiston, Maine ” label indicating it stored “Syrup Tar,” which was formerly marketed as a remedy for respiratory ailments.
The other bottle bears no such pharmacist label and shows moderate exterior soiling from age/use.
Both retain cork stoppers.
