Frederick Stearns & Co. “Astringosol” Concentrated Antiseptic Glass Bottle

Description

This is a vintage medicine bottle that once contained “Astringosol”, a concentrated antiseptic, produced by Frederick Stearns & Company.
Established in 1887,
Frederick Stearns & Company was a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in 19th century Detroit, Michigan, until 1921.
This glass bottle stands approximately 2 ½” in height, including the cork stopper, and displays the company label that explains the contents of the bottle with directions for use.
Both the bottle and label are in very good condition.
There is some discoloration to the bottle and slight wear to the label.
The cork stopper has some damage but is intact and I did not try to remove for fear of damaging it.
Despite these few flaws this vintage bottle has survived for nearly 100 years and would make an excellent addition to any collection.
