Here is another link, to Corning Glass Museum. Not the type of bottle you describe, but embossed with Aunt Hannah's.  http://www.cmog.org/artwork/bottle-843

Subject: Re: Help diagnosing "Aunt Hannah's" glass bottle


My search returned only images from someone's visit to a museum that includes an 
image of a sign for Aunt Hannah's Liquid Death Drops and a collection of 
unrelated bottles. I haven't seen an image of the bottle in our collection, 
which is a French square with recessed panels and a narrow neck. Searches for 
AHLDD on the web(not images) yielded references to poison records about "cans" 
of the product. 

Best,
David L Cook

medicine bottles in Atlanta, GA. One bottle in the collection has been quite 
difficult to identify. I have searched all of the resources via SHA.org, as well 
as other internet resources, with no results. The bottle is embossed with "AUNT 
HANNAH'S". I have found three possible products: Aunt Hannah's Liquid Death 
Drops(which apparently came in cans, not bottles), Aunt Hannah's Pile Salve, and 
Aunt Hannah's Hair Tonic. The latter two were just mentioned in small newspaper 
ads, both by Jenkins Bros, NY. However, unlike most bottles, I have been unable 
to find an image of another bottle or references to the products. If anyone has 
any information on this bottle or the product, I would be very grateful.
