Found Bottle

I recently found this bottle. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information about it and maybe even a general value. Any help/info is greatly appreciated.

That must have been found under a building or in an attic. Really cool find. Snap a picture of the bottom and of the neck showing the seam line going up and post it. Perhaps include a little more story about how you found it? People like reading the story of the hunt and discovery. I know I do!

I picked this up at a yard sale today. It was pretty cheap so I decided to pick it up because it still had the labels. I'm not really into bottles, but I thought it was cool.

Hey qwer,

Welcome to the Bottle Department of TNet. I'm really into bottles & I think it's cool.

You might enjoy The New England Magazine: A Brief History of Danderine.

It has the Pure Food & Drug Act reference, and I wonder if that was due to the Company's experience at the hands of the newly created Food & Drug Police. It really is a tale of Bureaucrats Gone Berserk. It's a semi lengthy piece, but well worth the read from a bottle and Civics perspective: http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/fdanj/bitstream/123456789/37859/8/37000010.txt

was sought to confiscate 65 casks of a liquid extract called "Dander
ine," for the reason that the product was misbranded in not having
a statement on the casks containing said product of the quantity or
proportion of alcohol contained therein. Upon the filing of said
libel and issuance of process the Knowlton Danderine Company
appeared and intervened as owner and resisted the confiscation.
The claimant waived trial by jury and the case was tried by the court

I got that bottle 10-12 years ago in a trade. Liked it because of it being hand blown and goes with my civil war relics.

I'll second that "Pretty Sweet Bottle," vote. It sure does go with Civil War stuff, even a little before.
