Description: A rare pair of authentic late 19th- to early 20th-century homeopathic apothecary bottles, beautifully preserved with their original pharmaceutical labels. These bottles once held potent natural remedies prepared by two of the most respected American homeopathic laboratories of the period:
• Boericke & Tafel “Arnica ”3X”—From one of the oldest homeopathic pharmacies in the United States, established in 1853 in Philadelphia. Features a rich amber label with elegant typography and the original ground glass stopper.
• Lloyd Brothers “Colloidum Apocynum”—produced by a renowned Cincinnati-based firm active around 1880–1920. Retains its sepia-toned medicinal label detailing dosage, indications, and alcohol content.
Each bottle tells a story of early American pharmacy and natural medicine—ideal as display pieces for collectors, designers, or anyone drawn to medical history and old apothecary charm.
Perfect for styling on:
• Apothecary shelves or glass cabinets
• Curiosity or natural history displays
• Vintage-style bathrooms, libraries, or offices
