Does anyone know anything about this bottle?

[River Rat]

Royaline Oil

Royaline Med. Co. Ltd

New Orleans

I've searched the web and this is all I could find. http://www.weloveoldbottles.com/NewO...Meds/meds.html

Ran across this on the web, but it's not listed in ebay ... http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=250444385338 It's in Spanish...I don't understand only the English that is written there ~ This is a unique rare bottle from New Orleans..It is about 6 inches tall 2 inches wide x about 7/8 inches thick on the sides....On the front panel it is embossed with Royaline Oil and on the left side panel it reads:New Orleans and on the righ panel it reads:Royaline Medco. ltd....This bottle is in good condition...Thanks

I've visited the LA Treasures Museum today, of the thousands upon thousands of bottles that Wayne has on display, he only had 2 Royaline medicine...1 was clear without New Orleans embossed on the side, the other was the same as the one I dug. Wayne said my bottle was in much better shape than what he had. I browsed through the many bottle books he has and nothing on this one bottle.

If you have any info, or a bottle like it please let me know, I would love to find out more about it. I will post a pic of the cleaned bottle tomorrow.

Thanks!

I couldn't find much either, just a couple references to it that date it around the early 1900's here are the links

Hi RR,

Here an ebay auction for one like yours in English.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250444385338

14.25 with shipping and more than one bidder, not bad.
