Description: RARE EARLY ANTIQUE JOHN WYETH & BRO COBALT BOTTLE PAT: 1899 WITH ITS ORIGINAL DISPENSING CUP. This is an absolutely beautiful RX bottle and would be great added into a pharmaceutical collection. The front of the bottle is embossed with the words JOHN WYETH & BRO. The bottom of the bottle is embossed with PAT MAY 16TH 1899 and a number 4. There are no chips or cracks and I have not cleaned the bottle since some do not want the seller cleaning. The dispensing cup is in perfect condition as well. What a wonderful find to have the original dispensing up with this beautiful bottle. Please ask any questions that you may have. See more information below for further details on this fabulous bottle.SourceSelective Surface collection, east Stanley Park, Historic Chatham Township (modern Summit, New Jersey) Complete examples of this bottle type with this same embossing are from John Wyeth & Bro. and the bottle rim would have had a dose glass resting on it and the bottle said “TAKE NEXT DOSE AT” and then a mark so the dose glass can be rotated to the hour marked at its base.

These bottles were handblown until 1910 which is also around the estimated time when the deep cobalt blue was discontinued. This bottle represents a medicine bottle but since the same bottle was used for various medicines it is impossible to say for sure which type of medicine, but the same shape of bottle with its label intact contained sodium phosphate; “A mild and pleasant Laxative Employed in the Treatment of Constipation, Obesity, Children’s Diarrhea, Rickets, Jaundice, etc.
