Large Bottle c 1907 Ephenic Elixir Acetanilide Wm S Merrell Medicinal NICE

A beautiful example of a mouth-blown medicinal elixir bottle in a gorgeous medium amber color with a tooled "prescription" finish/lip . The bottle is huge for an elixir/syrup bottle and would probably hold close to a half gallon. There is a cork in the lip that I have not tried to take it out as it might crumble due to its age.

The condition of the bottle is excellent with some very nice bubbles in the glass and minor crudeness befitting a mouth-blown bottle. The color almost glows when the sun hits it. There are no cracks, chips, flea-bites, etc. The label is in very good antique condition with wear you would expect for the age. A portion of the upper right and lower right of the label is missing, but it does not detract nor does it involve anything that is written.

This bottle is circa 1907-1912.

Size: 11 ½ inches tall (29.21 cm) x 4 ½ inches. (11.43 cm). Weighs 3 pounds. It holds somewhere around a half gallon of liquid.
