Offered for sale is a lovely ceramic, late 19th century, apothecary advertising cup marked CUDAHY’S REXSOMA. This late Victorian beauty is enhanced with rose decoration and gold leaf on the rim and handle. 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. The company also produced lard, soaps and patent medicine products such as "Cudahy's Essence of Pepsin" and "Cudahy's Rexsoma" that used the animal byproducts. The patent medicines were marketed as nutritional supplements for improved health! |
