Two examples of embossed panel bottles recovered from Structure #1 of the Reed Farmstead site. The process for embossing letters on panel bottles was developed and in use by the late 1850s and patented in 1867. The specimen at left is a portion of a Gilbert Bros. & Co./Baltimore panel bottle. The specimen at right is a Barrell's Indian Liniment bottle. Barrell's Liniment was produced by the H.G.O. Cary Company of Zanesville, Ohio, the advertisement for which has been observed as early as 1856, where it was described as a remedy for both internal and external pain. |
