It must not of worked too well as we've only ever seen a few of these bottles over many decades of collecting patent (quack) medicine bottles. Dr. Pounder was a King among Quacks, and even the embossed picture of him on the bottle, and the picture on the bottle's label, make him out to be a man of great notoriety as the picture shows a bust of him, like you see the pictures of in books of the great men of the ages! This is an early bottle as well, the embossing is that old, flattened out type of embossing, not the super crisp and clear-cut embossing that you find on very late 1800's era bottles. The condition is wonderful, made of pristine SPARKLING CLEAN glass with small bubbles mixed in and a crudely tooled top. What makes the bottle best is the embossed picture of Dr Pounder, as collecting "picture" embossed bottles is a category of bottle collecting in itself and the picture on this one stands among the best. Lastly, the impressive larger (OVER 8 inches tall) size of this bottle gives it all of the right stuff to make it a great bottle, check it out! Terms of Sale: Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
