Description

Here is a nice aqua glass, BIM (blown in mold), flared lip, 6-sided, 2" tall, OPEN PONTILED medicine bottle, embossed vertically on 3 panels: Scarpa's / Oil For / Deafness.
From the internet we learn that: Another less know Deafness Cure which originated a few years before Cooper's product was SCARPA'S OIL FOR DEAFNESS. This medicine was produced by B. Bell in Philadelphia beginning around 1843. The name likely came from Antonius Scarpa who discovered the nerves in the ear which functioned in hearing (Scarpa's Ganglion) around 1779. The medicine was advertised for sale until at least the late 1850s. The bottles came in two sizes .00 and .00.
I believe this to be the size. The only other one like this that I could find on eBay sold in April 2018 and was around 2.5" tall, which I believe to be the size. This one is 1/2" shorter than that example, which also had sever chipping to the thin flared lip and sold for 6.
CONDITION: The thin flared lip has severe chipping (see close up pictures above), NO other damage. Has some light inside haze and some light wear from use. Great candidate for a professional reprair to this thin flared lip.
Nice OPEN PONTIL on base, very scarce early medicine. Great for the collector of PENNSYLVANIA PENN PA medicine druggist drug store pharmacy doctor cure remedy bitters bottles bottle. See my other great bottles for sale on eBay presently.
