Title: N. Monticelli, Phila. bottle
Post by: greenacres on December 28, 2012, 03:14:56 PM

I have looked in all my books and the internet. The only thing I found was that it could be "Castor Oil" or "Almond Oil", which I can't see because it would be to hard to get out. I see something about medical syringes also. I can seem to find anything else. I'm guessing it's a mecidicne bottle. The name is Monticelli not Monticello.

Yes, I agree. I was reading a document on line about him bottling that type of item. I don't think it went in this type of bottle because of the neck. It was found in South Phila.

I thought it would be to thick of a substance. Mart I didn't know you were that old, lol. The bottle dates to about 1888-1910. ;D

Think Olive oil...then castor....the only difference is the taste...and what one does for your bowels...but they both pour the same.... ;D

LOL  !!  I am not that old but used to collect bottles !!  That was a popular cure-all !! Like Dr W.B Caldwells Cod Liver Oil with Lime and Soda !!  At least I think thats what it was,, Had an embossed pic of a man with a huge fish over his shoulder !! Evidently cod are good sized fish !!  Wish I still had that bottle !!
