    Thanks for posting.


    I have owned a few of these in years past. I believe that if you hold this up to some very strong light you will find that the glass color is actually a very deep amethyst / purple color. It is of course French but you will see them with a label in English. The product is "Protocarbonate of Iron"


    One will find a number of products by different manufacturers for Dr. Bland's Pills - likely it was a formulation created by an individual but was then mimics by other producers. See other pictures at: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=Pilules+blaud+bottle+antique&iax=images&ia=images


    The embossing on the bottle is:

    Pilules

    De Carte De Ferin Alterable

    du Dr. Blaud

    par A. Blaud SON NEVUE

  • Chris, thank you so much. When I hold it up to the light it seems black but perhaps the light I used wasn't strong enough. I appreciate the information on the embossing. I was having trouble reading it. Is it worth anything?
