Keeley Cure for tobacco bottle

[Marty-Graw]

dug this Keeley Cure bottle the other day.......I have done a lot of research and have seen several bottles but none identical to this one......on the neck (convex side) it says "KC" under that in script "Leslie E Keeley M.D." on the reverse side (flat side) on the neck "T"...... T meaning Tobacco cure......the flat panel on mine is unembossed where all the others i have seen have elaborate embossing ... the bottom is slick with a "dimple"....if anyone has any ideas please enlighten me

I would think the flat part of yours had a paper label and that is why it is not embossed.

thats a definate possibility

If it were embossed, it might say:

DR. L.E. KEELEY'S
DOUBLE CHLORIDE OF GOLD
CURE FOR THE TOBACCO HABIT

And it might be worth $80.00, according to Knapp's 2006 Guide.

Dr. Keeley's laboratory was in Dwight, Illinois.
