Description
Discover a piece of pharmaceutical history with this antique clear glass medicine bottle from Wm. R. Warner & Co. of Philadelphia. This rectangular apothecary vial dates back to the late 1800s or early 1900s and was likely used to hold pills or tablets from the renowned Warner pharmaceutical company. The bottle measures approximately 4 inches tall by 1 1/4 inches wide and features clear embossing that reads “Wm R Warner & Co / Philadelphia.”
