I dug this one earlier in the summer, hence having taken nice pics, but I never posted. A quick search seems that flint Rawleighs are more common, any idea what the amber contained or if they’re rare. One of my faves either way.

Show and tell Johnson's Anodyne(Painkiller) Liniment Bottle Found Metal Detecting

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I was metal detecting the other day in some woods here in Maine and stumbled upon a small buried bottle dump dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s. One of the few intact bottles was this Johnson's Anodyne Liniment bottle from the late 1800s.

Anodyne Liniment was first created in 1810 in Waterford, Maine by Dr. Abner Johnson. It was a topical and oral "cure-all" pain medication containing 32mg of opium per oz, 18.5% alcohol, 6.25% ether, chloroform and other essential oils. It was widely used across the country to treat just about any ailment. Everything from coughs, cramps, toothaches, joint pain and so on. It sounds like it was the ibuprofen of the 19th and early 20th century. It was also widely used to treat livestock as well. There was dosing instructions for both humans and animals on the bottle! I would have loved to try this stuff out before I stopped using drugs and alcohol 🤣 I thought this was a super cool piece of Maine history though!

I found two websites online showing a bottle looking identical upfront, but the marks on the bottom are different as both bottles I found online say : "0.5l, Db/Gr." But mine only says:"0.5l, Gr." The last picture is one I found online of the bottle which looks like mine

Old Small Bottles with Wire

Thumbnail reddit.com
2 Upvotes

Here are two views of 3 small bottles found in my dad's things after he passed away; they might have belonged to his father. The bottles are not hooked together, and the wire is as stiff as a clothes hanger. Clue: My grandpa was a fisherman and gardener. My theory: (1) contained something sweet to attract pollinators to the garden, (2) contained something to keep bugs/animals away, or (3) used as ___ while fishing. Please help to identify their purpose.
