Circa 1860-1870 - Helmbold Genuine Extracts, Philadelphia - Group of 4 Variants

This group of paneled medicines spans from about 1860 to early 1870's. They have the same embossing, but vary in color, type of top, and mold.

One of them is a snap case hinge mold with super crude squished double collar top. The clear one is less common, and the lavendar colored one was clear and has been artificially irradiated to get that color.

Embossed:  H. T. HELMBOLD // GENUINE / FLUID EXTRACTS // PHILADELPHIA

Heights:  6 1/4 to 6 3/4"" 
Color:
aqua, clear and irradiated purple

Condition: all are perfect structurally except the newer aqua one has a lip chip. Several have light haze patches but not bad. The earliest snap case one is nicest in condition.

Reference Number:  DC78

Price: $56
