Vintage Furst-McNess Co. Medicine Bottle – Freeport, Illinois
Up for sale is a vintage clear glass medicine/apothecary bottle from the Furst-McNess Company, embossed "FURST-McNESS CO." and "FREEPORT, ILL." on the front panel. The bottle stands approximately 8 inches tall and features a threaded (screw-top) neck finish — no cap included.
Furst-McNess Co. was founded in 1908 by Frank Furst and Frederick McNess in Freeport, Illinois, and the company became known for home remedies, extracts, and household products sold door-to-door. This bottle is a great piece of American advertising and pharmacy history, perfect for collectors or rustic/farmhouse display. Fwmcness
I was unable to fully confirm the exact manufacturer's mark on the base — please review the close-up base photo, as similar Furst-McNess bottles have been identified with Owens-Illinois Glass Co. markings depending on production era.
Please review condition details and pictures prior to purchase.
I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.
