One package is marked PARKE DAVIS – “BUTTERNUT” - Bark of Root, measures 8” x 5”, and is in a one pound package. The other 6 wrapped packages feature hand-written content labels and are as follows: “Pd. Poplar Bark” 5” x 2” – “Pink Root” 4” x 4” x2” – “Beth Root” 3”x2” – Poke Root” 5” x4” x2” – a plastic bag of “Buchu Leaves” 8”x 6” x 2” and “Alkanit Root” in an 8” x 5” paper wrapper.

Aside from the Buchu Leaves, the packages are in “as found” but generally quite good condition considering their substantial age and very fragile nature!

The company notes that their tablets could treat numerous symptoms and conditions especially womens ills. It enjoys crossover appeal in that it is also a 1904 World's Fair souvenir and an advertisement for the drug company - what a wonderful giveaway!

The Antikamnia ("Opposed to Pain") Chemical Company of St. Louis, Missouri, produced medicines similar to aspirin and were famous for their very graphic calendars that were given to physicians as tokens for prescribing their products.

Measuring just 3.25 inches long, this hand-carved piece features a spatula that is tapered to a fine, thin edge allowing for the easy handling of the finest-ground drug powders.

It measures just over 3.5 inches high and is marked “BAVARIA” on the base. The condition is fine with negligible, minor paint wear to the cup's gold-painted rim.

An Interesting HISTORY of the CUDAHY Company noted below:

The Cudahy meat packing industry dates back to the turn of the century. The Cudahy meat industry, with stockyards in Omaha, Chicago, Sioux City and Los Angeles produced the REX brand of fine beef and pork products.

Collectively, these 10 globes offer a unique, historical perspective into the process and history of US paper making, and they serve as an educational tool, with each individual globe representing a different step in the process of paper manufacture.

Each globe retains its original contents and bears a specific label describing the contents and their purpose. The glass globes measure just over 6 inches tall and are corked.

This japanned cork press dates to the late 19th century and sports a wonderful patina. Its delightful form, image, and size will compliment even the most advanced apothecary / drugstore collection.

Measuring approximately 10 inches long x 5 inches wide x 4 inches tall, it remains in fine condition. No manufacturer markings.

This label under glass (LUG) powder bottle is in very nice condition. Its visual appeal makes it well worth displaying despite missing a third of its glass label. The wide mouth stopper sports ground glass construction and is in very nice condition.

Parke-Davis was a company that took pride in the quality of its products and services and ensured its legacy by the commissioning of appealing advertisements and product containers. These tins demonstrate fabulous lithography and were designed to attract prospective buyers as well as being quite functional in preserving their contents.

These wonderful tins measure 9 inches high x 4 inches square and are from a former pharmacists collection. All of the tins are in very nice condition sporting a patina expected with a used vintage tin. All but one have glossy surfaces, various scratches and a few minor unobtrusive dings. The MARIGOLD tin has lost some of its gloss on the front but is otherwise quite nice and appealing to display. These are the best I have seen or purchased in a long time and certainly display quite well. No Rust!!!
