John Wyeth & Brother Cobalt Blue Dose Bottle with Glass Cup Stopper
$24.99
This antique John Wyeth & Brother cobalt blue pharmaceutical bottle has its original glass dose cup stopper, with WYETH embossed into the cup and a No. 2 base variation associated with documented Wyeth dosage sets.
The cobalt glass is clean at the edges with no chips, flea bites, or cracks seen or felt, while the dark composition collar around the stopper shows pronounced age cracking and surface wear.
Dating to the early 1900s to 1920s, this compact pharmacy bottle has the deep blue glass and unusual measuring stopper that make early medicine bottles especially good display pieces.
