CURRENT
LISTING OF
MEDICINAL TONIC BOTTLES
This is the current and most complete listing of all the different brands and variations of
embossed medicinal tonic bottles that are known to me. There are inevitably lots more
medicinal tonics out there of course, but this is what I've compiled to date
(12/2013) - over 420 now! The
list also includes another tonic collectors list which goes back many more years
than mine - my thanks to Bill Knepp for generously sharing with me.
This listing is of medicinal bottles with the word "Tonic" embossed in the
glass. This list does
not include hair tonics, just medicinal tonics that were
intended to be taken internally. (Someone else can do - as has I
think - hair tonics!) I am only interested in "true"
tonics, i.e. where the product is clearly a tonic, not a medicinal with
tonic attributes. I know it's a fine line here, but I would be
interested in a "Dr. Wonser's Blood Tonic" or "Dr. Wonser's Fever & Ague Tonic",
possibly a "Dr.
Wonser's Tonic Elixir", but not in a "Dr.
Wonser's Tonic Bitters" or "Dr. Wonser's Tonic Vermifuge. (I
wish all these bottles existed, but they don't - just made up examples.)
The list does include a couple "tonic bitters" and a few other bottles where
tonic is not the obvious product, though I am not necessarily seeking out such
things.
If
you know of any additional medicinal tonics that I don’t have listed
yet - or color variations of those that are listed - I would appreciate
the information you have about it. Ideally this would include
exact embossing and the pattern of that embossing (front, sides, back;
horizontal or vertical), shape or form details, color or colors, tooled
or applied lip, smooth or pontiled base, city of manufacturing (if not
in the embossing and you know or suspect where it came from), and
especially any historical information you may have or know of.
Digital pictures of the bottles would be most appreciated! However,
just the details is enough. When I produce a tonic book (or possibly a
tonic bottle website; either of which are still several years away
although I am now retired), you will be given credit for any new tonics
you have discovered and let me know about.
My email is -
NOTE: I do not own an example of every bottle listed
here and this is not a "for sale" list. The point of this
webpage is to put together a comprehensive list of medicinal tonic bottles for
inclusion in a future book or web-book. |

Notes: In the following list, the names in bold are confirmed
embossing. Those in regular case are reported tonic bottles without the
embossing pattern confirmed as yet. If you can confirm what the actual
embossing is on any of these latter bottles, I would appreciate the information.
I have used the relatively standard bottle listing convention for the embossing
below, i.e. the slash (/) mark is a break in the embossing lines on the
same side of the bottle and a dash (-) is the break between embossing
found on different sides of the bottle.
For simplicity, I have not
given credit attribution to anyone on this simple e-list – though many
of the listings have come from you kind people out in there in the
bottle e-world. Rest assured that I keep separate records of who
sends what information to me and those details will be added in the
future book. All of the listing below have also been pared down
to the bare minimum description that will allow a viewer to usually
know if they have something that is different or not.
Thanks
to all who have contributed to this list already!!
