Who here collects patent medicines? . . . Practically everyone, I'd guess!
Here's one about which I'd like to learn more:
This one has a tooled lip, and may date to the Early 20th Century. The fact that the mold was peened to remove the "DR." from the "DR. W. H. BULL'S" suggests there was a lawsuit, OR that the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 forced some changes on the W. H. Bull Medicine Company of St. Louis.
Anyone know any more about this company's history? Does anyone here have other examples of Bull bottles?
