PAIR Early Merck Apothocary Jars, Amber Glass,Original Stoppers & deals Labels, 1930's Scientific Medical Glass, Old Pharmacy Glass, 6" H x 2.33 W

These vintage glass bottles are so incredibly useful as well as being beautiful. These are great for storing bath salts, powders, detergents, or any number of items in the bath, laundry, or elsewhere. They are completely free of their original ingredients but retain the original labels which you could, of course remove.

The stoppers are shaped like round flat discs, a bit larger than a quarter, and the discs are atop a tapered frosted plug, which in the lab helped ensure that liquid residue was not inadvertently transferred to another bottle. I believe that the stoppers are original to these bottles. The stoppers are in very good condition, as are the bottles.

With the stoppers they are 6" high and 2.33" wide at base. They are in EXCELLENT condition with only a slight bobble in one stopper top which occurred during the molding process. Nothing which compromises the jar stability or use.

Merck Laboratories are one of the largest leading pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Here's a little bit of their early history, for those who are interested:


Merck & Co. was founded in the U.S. on January 1, 1891. George Merck, age 23, established the company to distribute fine chemicals throughout New York City and the neighboring areas.

The first Merck Manual deals was published in 1899. Treatments in the first manual included bloodletting for acute bronchitis, arsenic for impotence and almond bread for diabetes.

The Merck Manual went on to become one of the most widely used medical references.
