Hi all, My name is Jeff Burnett and I am a student at MSU working on glass bottles from a site in the United States dating to the 1940s, though it was occupied earlier in a verity of capacities. My question is on a specific subset of cobalt medicine bottles which are embossed on one side with "HOSPITAL / SIZE / HOSPITAL / USE ONLY" I have done a bit of research online and using "The Bottle Book" by Fike (1987) and have found similar bottles online, but little to no historical information. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Blue-Apothecary-Bottle-For-Hospital-Use-Only-Embossed-On-Bottle-/264265256144 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cobalt-Blue-Physicians-Bottle-For-Hospital-Use-Only-1930-s-/173928538084 The SHA bottle site indicates that prohibition era bottles were sometimes embossed with "FOR MEDICINAL USE ONLY", but this is of course different. I was wondering if anyone has any good sources. Thank you very much, Jeff Burnett ######################################################################## Access the HISTARCH Home Page and Archives: https://community.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-LSOFTDONATIONS.exe?A0=HISTARCH Unsubscribe from the HISTARCH List: https://community.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-LSOFTDONATIONS.exe?SUBED1=HISTARCH&A=1 ########################################################################
