One More That I need ID Help

[JohnnyFlake]

Still another of many bottles that I need ID help! Help on possible value will be appreciated.

On the front under the tree branches, it says "Munyon's" and then under that is says "Paw Paw".

This bottle is about 10" tall X about 2 7/8" and about 2 1/4" deep.

Munyon's Paw-Paw, 10" amber, is listed in Knapp's 2006 auction price guide at $32.00. Nice acquisition!

Hey johnny, is this one of those bottles of many given to you in lieu of a debt? If so, maybe this one will help recover your losses

Yes, this is one of them, as well as the other I posted today. I have a lots more to go through. That "LMS Hotels" bottle has drawn some interest as well. Is there a book or other source that I can try checking on values and demand? I see "Knapp's 2006 Auction Prices" mentioned above.

Fermented Papaya juice, Johnny, was the secret ingredient in Paw-Paw, along with a little strychnine...

A little more on that history:
The Island was originally called Nuctsachoo by the Seminoles, which means Pelican Island and it reportedly supported one of the largest wading bird rookeries in South Florida.
The first documented inhabitant of Munyon Island in 1884, was a man named Rodgers who was known to be an eccentric "Robinson Crusoe" type who lived in a tent and made his living by selling green sea turtles which he caught in Lake Worth.
The next inhabitants were the Pitts family, who bought the island in 1892 and built a two story house. They were active horticulturalists who reportedly grew more than 28 kinds of fruit on the island and cultivated the island into the "most picturesque spot in Florida".
In 1901, the Pitts sold the island to Dr. James Munyon. In 1903, Munyon completed construction of the Hotel Hygeia. Named after the Greek goddess of Health, the five story, twenty-one room, eight bath hotel catered to ailing, wealthy Northerners who came to Palm Beach to recuperate on the tropical Island, soak in the Fountain of Youth and drink of "Dr. Munyon's Paw-Paw Elixir", consisting primarily of fermented papaya juice, which he bottled on the island.

Great info guys WOW!!!

I can understand the use of Papaya Juice (which I happen to Love) but Strychnine, that's scary ****!

Of course the selling price is a bit of a disappointment, but maybe in time the market for these bottles will go up!
