This is a circa 1900 pharmacy, drug store bottle sporting a scarce label noting Cannabis as one of the contents. The 3.75 inch clear glass bottle is also embossed on one side as seen in the photo.

The condition of the empty bottle is undamaged and the label is very good.

Please enjoy this graphically-appealing, early 20th century, veterinary advertising poster.

ZULICH'S POWDER was a "Blood, Alternative and Tonic" used for the treatment of horses, cattle and swine, with the company taking pride in advertising its purity and reliability. In fact, the manufacturer stated that it even "contains nothing that will bloat, stiffen, or produce Dropsical affections"!

While I can't confirm or deny whether or not this vet medicine was effective, I can attest that the poster measures 14" high by 11" wide. There are 4 unobtrusive edge tears measuring approx. 1/2 inch, a minor crimp by the letter 'r' in sulphur, and minor losses to three corners, all commensurate with age and minimal use. The sign is made of a quality heavy paper sporting a small brass grommet in the top center for hanging. Framing will further enhance this interesting piece of vintage advertising.

Offered for your consideration is a graphically appealing veterinary medicine tin. Newtons medicines has offered fabulous lithography with this tin.

This medicine measures approximately 7 inches tall x 3 inches wide. The case is made of sturdy cardboard with a paper label. The condition is generally good with wear and staining as seen in the photos. The eye appealing label is what separates this from most medicines and should not be missed. Dated 1930.

Offered are two, decorative, late 19th century, English, porcelain, dental tooth paste pot lid containers. They are priced separately with the ORIENTAL TOOTH PASTE pot lid offered at $115.00, and the WOODS CHERRY TOOTH PASTE pot lid offered at $75.00.

The ORIENTAL TOOTH PASTE pot lid measures about 3 inches in diameter, sports a marbled exterior and is in very nice condition with a few faint edge chips to the base. There is a slight variance in color between the top and base.

This hand blown, 12 inch tall bottle has a deep pontilled base and is in fine condition. The ground glass stopper has a few unobtrusive interior edge chips.

The label under glass (LUG) applied label is in very good condition, complete and some minor ‘crackling’ of the painted surface.

When viewing the glass label "in person", it is quite appealing and displays beautifully. Please note that the elongated, reddish mark seen on the label is a function of poor photography - it is only a reflection of another object in the room- and not a stain!

Complete Whitall Tatum #3 Suppository Machine complete with ALL components including rare set of brass molds. Although the black painted surface is well worn from use, it was once marked in gold paint "MARCH 26, 1895, WHITALL TATUM CO. OF NEW YORK, PHIL-A, BOSTON".

The beveled edges of the sign are soldered in place to further enhance the appearance of this wonderful sign. The original patina and surface are in untouched, "as found" condition.

A fabulous addition to any doctor or medical collection!

Offered is a very scarce, 19th century, strength measuring medical device known as a dynamometer that was manufactured by the G. Tiemann Company, New York, the most renown and respected surgical device manufacturers of the 19th century. Sold in the US by a gymnasium apparatus company out of St. Louis, the Fred Medart Company, the device was designed to assess the strength of the chest, back and legs up to a pull capacity of 1400 lbs.

This fabulous early tool of the medical trade sports a visually-interesting, graphic, brass face with a scale delineating increments from 0 to 1400 pounds. There are 2 dials - one that notes the actual pressure achieved, and the second stationary dial that serves as the reference.

This instrument enjoys wonderful, rich patina on both the metal and wooden sections. It measures 13 inches at the widest point and 10 inches at the wooden handles.

Offered is a fabulous, appealing, four drawer, late 19th century, pharmacy label cabinet!

This very well-made, heavy, wooden cabinet sports small, typed labels on the front of the cabinet above each large drawer indicating the label contents of that particular drawer. Each individual drawer contains 18 compartments, most of which continue to retain their original labels from the early, B.O. Heath Pharmacy, Rochester, New York. The many labels identify a variety of poisons, remedies and medicines common to the era.

The cabinet measures a substantial 34 inches long x 7.5 inches wide x 16 inches high. All of the drawers open and can be removed, although the top 2 drawers are difficult to maneuver, and thus, remove. The finish is in good, original condition and shows signs of wear commensurate with age and use. The right side bottom corner shows some ancient damage with minor wood loss.

Handsome cabinets such as this are hard to find, especially chock full of original, unused labels!
