Black matte glass pear shaped bottle with a clear glass diamond shaped stopper. Picture 3 shows another similar bottle for sale. The lower part of the stopper has a small chip.
The gold label reads TR:CALUMB: which stands for Callumba Root Tincture (Jateorhiza palmata) and appears to have included an extraction from sugar beet, ethanol and water and was most likely used as a form of pain relief.
The label reads: Mason’s Original Extract Herbs, Sedgley, Staffs, England. An early 20th-century glass bottle. The bottle and label are in excellent condition, unopened and with contents intact.
• One plain apothecary or laboratory-style bottle. An attractive display lot with traditional cut crystal-style patterns and useful vanity or collector appeal. • Centre bottle missing stopper. Centre cut glass bottle is missing its stopper as photographed.
At 11.7g, it is a nice touch that the product remains simple to pack and carry.
Here are three clear glass 19th century apothecary bottles, which could make super display pieces. The second clear glass bottle is much smaller and an unusual tall, thinner shape. Again, the stopper can easily be removed.
