Description
Discover this historic Minard’s Liniment bottle, a classic example of early 20th-century patent medicine. Originating in Nova Scotia but bottled in Framingham, Massachusetts, this square clear glass bottle stands 5″ tall by 1 3/4″ square. The bold embossing “MINARD’S LINIMENT / FRAMINGHAM MASS USA” on two panels makes it a standout piece for collectors.
The bottle is in solid condition for its age, with no chips, cracks, or bruises. The applied tooled lip is original and has one slight nick, and it includes a modern replacement cork for display. The interior has typical cloudiness/haze from aged residue, common in drug liniment bottles, but this does not detract from its display appeal. The exterior shows light wear and soil but cleans up beautifully, with strong, readable embossing.
A staple in North American home medicine cabinets, Minard’s Liniment was used for rubs on rheumatism, sprains, and sore muscles. This bottle is a great addition to any medicine bottle collection, apothecary shelf, or Framingham/Massachusetts historical display. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of medical history!
