Two old bottles with intact labels found under old house

GLASSHOPPER1955 · Sep 3, 2016

Found some old glass in the crawl space of an old house. Normally, 1920s-30s screwcap bottles don't interest me - but these still have their labels - and those I like. :yes:

That's why I always tell everyone don't forget to look under them old houses. Interestingly, the Tuttle's Elixr (for horses) is still in business.

I'm thinking mid to late 20s on the Elixir, and 1930s or '40s on the stove polish bottle, judging by the look of the glass and markings. More research is needed, though.
