Age : An ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. What makes this bottle so collectible is that the label says TWO GRAINS OPIUM TO THE FLUID OUNCE… It seems that these bottles are often found in small caches or groups of them as the user usually got hooked on the NARCOTIC and often hid the empty bottles away so no one would find out. We have a small grouping of these bottles that were bought as part of a small cache of them that were found just like this, tucked away in a basement crawl space, and they have the label’s still intact and the glass is in good condition. Some are this size, some of are smaller’sample’ sizes, some of them are newer clear glass varieties, and some of them even have a backwards “S” in the ” S ETH ARNOLD S ” embossing. In summary, only so many labeled bottles survived a century of time with paper label intact, and since it was found in a basement and out of the elements, it is in NICE CLEAN condition, N O damage w/ a FULLY LEGIBLE label.
