I think that's an ooooold bottle. Betcha its contents had cocaine or some other opiate and/or a high proof. ;D

Looks like you found a bull ring. I wonder if that pistol brass is from a .41 (Colt thunderer) they were a rather short.
 

Re: Little bottle, and other relics

Great bottle! Google the name, you'll find out that it was known as the "Baby Killer". Contained enough morphine to numb a regiment of soldiers! Good stuff!

Old River,

Very nice bottle. That might be old enough to be pontiled. Take a pic of the bottom of it, and post it. If pontiled, it is worth some dough(maybe enough to fill your gas tank once or twice).

Regards,
Jon Dickinson.
 

Re: Little bottle, and other relics

The bottom is flat with the number 81 on it. Probably a 1881 bottle. The bullets were of several cals. 44 wcf , 30-30 rem umc, 38 cfw,

Added some pictures of the bottle, and a write up on it.
 

I don't know, but she must have got high on that Syrup, and stuck someone with them when he ran by. LOL
 

I just typed in Mrs Winslows Soothing Syrup in Yahoo search, and went down the list until I found it. As a matter of a fact this was on E-bay, but there was lots of information in other sites. Thanks for looking.
