J. Lacey / Chemist / Melbourne // W.T.Co. (Victoria) Medicine Pills Screw top pill bottle. Clear. 1/2 oz. 59 mm. 1900s
Very Good. We have seen a few varieties of these pill bottles before, this Melbourne example is extremely rare (can't picture another one). Along the lines of the early dose cups, this too was made by Whitall Tatum Co of the US, using a badge identical to what would have been used on a dose cup. This is a little hazy internally, may have had a light oiling as well. The inner left neck has a little milky bubble. Some tiny flakes around the ground upper lip. Fine surface bubble to the right of the badge. Some small scattered scuffs and scratches. A small piece this may be, but a great rarity it is and likely the only opportunity you will have to acquire such a piece. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $100 - 150
