NY Medicine Bottle Wintergreen 16 oz

A little piece of Main Street Cooperstown, New York. This clear glass pint bottle comes from the days when your neighborhood druggist filled and labeled his own preparations, and it still wears its original paper label for Essence of Wintergreen from Harry O. Withey, The Rexall Store. The Rexall name dates to the early 1900s, and local-history, drugstore and pharmacy collectors like labeled bottles like this one. It would look good on a shelf, in a window or in a vintage apothecary display.
