This empty, circa 1920's, chemist's, Mercurous Nitrate apothecary bottle sports a highly graphic label. It measures 5.75 inches high and shows evidence of use as well as a few unobtrusive manufacturing flaws. The label is 90% complete, also with some wear from use.
HgNO3: Mercurous Nitrate is the earlier name for mercury nitrate. Mercury (I) nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Hg2(NO3)2. It is used in the preparation of other mercury (I) compounds, and, like all other mercury compounds, it is toxic. Historically, Mercurous Nitrate was used to treat fur to make felt in a process called 'carroting'. Most interestingly, the phrase, 'mad as a hatter', is associated with psychological illness brought on by excessive exposure to mercury (II) nitrate. The use of Mercurous Nitrate in this practice continued in the United States until it was finally banned in December 1941, by The United States Public Health Service.

This is an unused, "New Old Stock", Pharmacy or Drug Store display from the 1940-1950's era. It is complete with 16 full boxes of "THRIOCAIN LOZENGES". The pink tablets are inside a plastic tube which was prepared for and labeled "James' Drug Co., New London, CT". This diminutive size display measures 6.25" x 3.75" x 2" closed and is in very nice condition except for some unobtrusive ink scribbling appearing mostly on the top. The cover lifts up to facilitate the advertising of this product and would have been placed on the counter top of a pharmacy in this fashion. A neat find!

Offered for sale is a nice E.R. Squibb & Sons spice tin that came from the early unused stock of the former A.D. Pierce Pharmacy in Hartford, CT!! The tin is in good condition with ‘crackling’ to the painted lithographed surface. The metal top and base are tarnished and a few minor paint scuffs are noted to the tin. The tin measures 3.5H x 2.25 ”W x 1.75”D and sports a 1906 FDA label. NOTE - you are buying the tin on the right. The A.D. Pierce Pharmacy originated in Hartford, Connecticut, at 914 Main Street during the late 19th century and later relocated to 247 Sigourney Street in Hartford doing business as A.D. Pierce and Son. Posted along with photos of the tins are 2 images of the pharmacy, circa 1960, which are NOT included with the sale of the tin.

Offered is a very handsome pharmacy sign sporting gold gilt lettering that is further enhanced by a hand-painted-on-glass, faux mahogany background. This graphically-appealing sign dates to the 1930s - 1940s era and displays quite well. The sign measures 25.5" x 13" and is in very nice condition. There is minimal, unobtrusive lifting of the paint on glass and minor wear to the finish of the wooden frame. A label on the back notes "Rodwell Sign Co., Buffalo, NY".
History: In 1871, Hervey Parke and George Davis became the owners of the company that was to bear their names for the next century. In addition to creating many medicines and biologicals, various innovations became industry standards such as: the standardizing of
liquid formulations - the establishment of quality controls in 1886 by using lot numbers on the labels - and creating the first commercial biological laboratory in this country in 1885 to name just a few.
