RARE VINTAGE ELI LILLY TINCTURE #87 WARBURGS WITHOUT ALOE N.F. ANTIPERIODIC.Interesting tidbits listed below from research I did about this bottle.
This is part of an estate clearing and he dearly loved vintage cool stuff! I don't have room for all of his collections and I hope to find someone who will treasure this bottle as he did.
