From a bottle cache in a barn wall 16 late 19th century bottles were
recovered. By type they were mostly bitters or prescription bottles. I am
looking for more definite identification of date and contents if possible.
Fike and Toulouse did not produce any info.
1) Hostetter's bitters; 8 3/4 in tall, 2 5/8 in square, amber, no bottom
mfg mark, "10", "11", or "31" embossed on back panel. Mold seam goes up to
but not over lip. Hostetter was in business from 1853 - 1958, a more
specific date for these bottles would be helpful.
2) Colorless medicine bottle; 7 in tall, embossed with an ounce symbol
then "viii" on one side, bottom is embossed "CRYSTO"
3) Miniature amber bottle; 4 1/16 in tall, 1 9/32 in diameter, bottom is
embossed "WB" with the "B" attached to the last leg of the "W".
Any and all help is most appreciated.
