Very nice and unusual bottle!!

I have had many days I could of used what was in that bottle to cure what was ailing me!!

I did a little searching and found bottles like yours, the first shows that it had a paper label on the back and the second one looks like someone high lighted the lettering in white.

There was also an extremely rare smaller version of this bottle that was only 6 5/8" high.
