Light-catching amber medicine bottle from the 1920's! Sir Henry Wellcome established pharmaceutical factories in the early 1900's, leading to treatments for tetanus, diphtheria, and gangrene, while laying the groundwork for antihistamine production.
This bottle is a piece of history, once containing a tincture or medicine from the 1920's. This wide necked amber bottle is stamped on four sides with 'Kepler' and the bottom is stamped with 'Wellcome Chemical Works.' There is also a small '10' at the base of the bottle. This bottle measures 7.5 x 3 inches. Because this bottle is nearly a century old, it does have some scratches and dings due to age. See pictures.
