Description |
Cork-stoppered PARKER & CO. bottle for "Oil of Eucalyptus". The bottle is tall and thin, now empty of liquid (just has a darkish residue at the bottom interior) and has a form-printed brown paper label. The "Oil of Eucalyptus" identification is penned on a top line in ink. The back of the bottle, on the glass, has gradation marks showing how much liquid remains in the bottle--its full capacity was three and a half ounces. |
