Lot 277:
Early 20th Century Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic Bottle, Original Label & Contents
Early 20th century Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic bottle retaining its original paper label, cork stopper, and a portion of the original contents, now aged into a thick tar like residue. The bottle itself is in excellent condition, and the label, featuring the well known slogan "Makes Children as Fat as Pigs" along with promotional claims for chills, malaria, and biliousness, remains largely intact with age appropriate wear as shown.
A strong example of early American patent medicine advertising with outstanding display appeal. The graphics, wording, and surviving contents make this a standout piece for collectors of antique bottles and medical ephemera.
Measures 6 1/2 inches tall.
A clean and visually striking specimen with classic period character.
Condition: Authentic
