I am trying to figure out how old this bottle of Perry Davis is, it was made in Hamilton Canada by Davis and Lawrence co no.23847
I'm not surprised, this bottle having Angels ( Cupids ) as when i first found my bottle in a farm dump like Jennifer, in the Aussie Outback. Outback of Miles in Qld. The reason the angels don't surprise me is when i first looked it up back in 2003, it was Either Morphine or Heroin in it. The chemical name for Heroin is DiaMorphine Hydrochloride anhydrous. So Heroin Salts basically.
I have Perry Davis pain killer vegetable bottle one with number 129 on it. The back of bottle seems on sunk in....make me offer willing to sell. Thanks
I found over 50 bottles buried in my backyard, I think someone from the past had an addiction? Oh yes this was in Hamilton ont Canada.
I recently found a Davis bottle intact in the Australian outback. It has a number 27 on the base. Does this give a clue to its age?
I have a Perry Davis Vegetable Pain Killer box. The lable is beginning to disintigrate but still legible, It is a dovetailed wooden box. I have photos.
i have a davis bottle if someone wants to buy it.
