Here's an interesting western cure that I have never heard of.
Anyone ever run across this bottle or have one in their collection

An online site for the western collector of antique bottles, gold rush collectables and early western material culture
This medicine was trademarked in 1881.I believe it may have been produced for less than a year as this is the only example I have ever seen. It is very crude for a tooled top...similar to the Grattan's in character. Maybe someone else can actually comment as it seems like few do anymore. Sharing information and western bottles would seem to be a fun experience.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine found one at a yard sale about 3 months ago somewhere near placerville That's the first one I had seen I don't know anything more !!!!!! MAX
ReplyDeleteTheir definitely found in Santa Rosa. Over the years I've dug 3-4 one was clear the others aqua.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the comments on this post it appears there are 6 or 7 examples of the Caloric Oil with most of them coming from the Santa Rosa area. Good stuff folks! Thanks for the input - rs -
