This is a Very Hard to Find, Western Medicine Bottle from Denver Colorado. This is a Medium Amber Colored bottle that measures 6 & 3/4 inches tall. There are several Variants from this Company, this is a later looking example but Rarely offered for sale. It is well embossed and reads, "GUN WA'S CHINESE HERB & VEGETABLE REMEDIES" The bottle is is Mostly Nice condition, a couple issues as usual. I have seen three of these sell and all have had some damage, this is less than others. There are a couple small flakes on the side of the lip as shown, all are fairly small as shown and shallow. The worst issue is a small, angled fracture in the lower neck, hard to see as it is sort of angled and more on the interior. It is less than 1/2 inch in length, with a tiny little line underneath, sort of an inverted 'T', Very small. The Bottle is well embossed, Mostly clean, just a very light haze at most. Fished out of Grand Lakes Colorado about 30 years ago, never cleaned besides a little wash up. ..This was a Product of a somewhat Shady Character who immigrated to Denver from Ireland in the late 1880's. William Hale first produced and Sold his Gun Wa's Remedies in 1888. He was first located at 1629 Larimer St., later relocating to 1646-1650 Larimer. He was in business only until 1892 when he was indicted on Federal Mail Fraud Charges. He fled to England where he was later prosecuted on other charges and spent 18 Months in Prison. An unusual Character, probably perpetrating a fraud with his Remedies. If you collect Western Medicine bottles or Denver Colorado bottles, here is a Nice Example. .....PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS!!!..PAYPAL IS AN OPTION ALONG WITH OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT, CONTACT ME FOR INFORMATION.. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS.
