Here is a classic early 19th century medicine bottle with unusual serifed embossed text. Marked “Dr. McMunn’s Elixir of Opium” What a great photograph!

Update:
Another plain, smooth based Dr. McMunns Elixir of Opium bottle sold on ebay for a surprising price. The auction closed at $54 on 01/24/10
Here is the picture for that auction – clear and crisp. Quite the above average price for an average specimin! That’s the nature of auctions – some times the prices are average, some things die at auction and every once in a while two or more bidders drive a price up to unusually high numbers.
