Subject: Bottle Identification

>
> One is clear glass with a aqua tint, round, and stands 10.5cm
> tall. It's labelled 'VIRGINIA/ WORM KILLER.' I'd like to have

> The other bottle is of clear glass, 13.7cm tall, rectangular
> with four recessed panels. One of the large panels is
> labelled 'ROYAL CHEMICAL/ CO/ NASHVILLE TN.'
>
> I've checked a number of books on 19th century bottles,
> especially phamaceutical and patent medicines. For VA I've
> checked, Bottled in Richmond 1819-1930, and Old Bottles of
> the Virginia Peninsula 1885-1941. I'd appreciate any
