> I'm researching glass from a 19th century site near

> with. Both have embossed labels but I'd like more specific 
> details.
> 
> 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 
> some idea of the ingredients,if possible, as well as the 
> period, and place of manufacture.
> 
> 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 
> suggestions please.
