Licoricine from Mandall & Co
Stockton-on-Tees
A nice Victorian - Edwardian era 1890's - early
1900's Quack medicine bottle
The bottle embossing says "Licoricine" in
handwriting, then "ACTS LIKE MAGIC FOR COUGHS COLDS &c" on the front sunken
panel. Then on one side in the sunken panel "MANDALL & CO LTD" and on
the other side's sunken panel is "STOCKTON ON TEES". The base has a sunken
panel but no embossings.
The bottle is of a nice deep light bluish Aqua color
and it is a blown in mold bottle with an applied tooled double collar top, of the type
that used corks. There are several bubbles in the glass including stretched bubbles
in the neck.
The bottle is in a nice shiny condition with little
case wear.
