Bromo Seltzer

[mcmich]

"For headache, disordered stomach and hang-over, to cool the blood and brain, to quiet pulsing nerves and drive the clouds of care away, not to mention nervous prostration, Bromo-Seltzer was the modern cure-all. Isaac E. Emerson, a Baltimore Druggist began widespread Bromo-Seltzer in November of 1890." I think I may have that nervous prostration thing, need to get some of this. Sounds like Alka Seltzer huh.

Found the 2 1/2 inch trial size bottle in a creek by an old house. Amazing it was stiil intact but it is a sturdy little bottle. Going for $5 bucks on the bay. I'll take what I can get.

Bronze star I assume from a bridal ?

Nice button, at least I think so, brass, some words on the back I cant make out, looks like "rich gold" or something. I wish. Any comments?


Well thats what I dug last weekend . Ohh, one more, this ball, have no idea on this either

Your shield shaped Saddle Ornament is listed as "Unknown Shield" in the book "Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields and Campsites of the Civil War 1861-1865 by Stanley Phillips. The piece is stamped brass and lead-filled, and dates to the mid 1800s. These were likely used by civilians, but evidently a few of them saw wartime use.


It is a Wonderful find.



Best Wishes,

Nice finds.

Not sure what you mean by "bridal", that would refer to wedding items.

I've always had a thing for those cobalt bromo bottles. I have dug all three sizes, also the screw-top variety, look cool in the window.
