Bottlescavenger Recent estate find. I can't seem to find any information on this bottle. It has an applied tooled top nice bubbles and a lot of seeds in the green glass. I found on the net where Havana NY is called Montour Falls now. Same area as Cornell University. I would like to know how to classify the bottle so I can list it on Ebay so if you have seen this bottle or have more information please let me know.
Chris Is "Vances Elixippon Patented July 5th 1865 Havana New York" the exact embossing (and all the embossing) that is on the bottle? Finding the patent info might be helpful but it very well may not be easy.
Chris Have you seen this? From the publication "Watkins Express - Home Matters" April 1867 This is pretty exciting since you now know this is a veterinary medicine http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%2018/Watkins%20NY%20Express/Watkins%20NY%20Express%201867-1869/Watkins%20NY%20Express%201867-1869%20-%200074.pdf
