Bromo-Seltzer Cobalt Blue Glass Bottle 1950s Embossed 5 Inch
$16.99
This Bromo-Seltzer cobalt blue glass medicine bottle stands about 5 inches tall, with BROMO-SELTZER embossed around the shoulder and a molded 5 on the base.
The glass has no chips or cracks and the edges feel smooth, but the original cap is missing and it could use a cleaning, as the photos show.
Bromo-Seltzer was once a familiar headache remedy, and its blue glass bottles became part of American pharmacy history. The rich blue glass catches the daylight on a shelf or windowsill.
