's a quack medicine you simply don't see all the time.
This was expensive stuff at the time,
which has a lot to do with the rarity,
one of Kilmer's top shelf nostrums, for those
with that special combination of fiduciary excess and extreme gullibility.

Aqua, circa 1880's, standing 8 and 9/16ths inches, mold-blown by hand,
with a hand-tooled top and lip in the
tapered-collar and ring style.

T's arch-topped sunken-panels on three sides,
the fourth side is flush for the label,
the largest sunken-panel has four bold
lines of slug-plate embossing.

The neck has some sweet bulge and wave,
stretched a little long for the body size.
Neck is full of little bubbles,
and long vivid vertical stretch-marks.

The base has some thick and uneven wave.

T's vertical thickness and panel edge wave as well.

The lip ring is nicely large, and displays some excellent lateral wave.
Lip has some top mar and swirl,
tapered collar has some good up and down wave.

The inner neck has tooling lines and mar as well.

The entire lip sits on the neck at a subtle lean.

It's embossed in four lines;

When Lydia Pinkham, out of Lynn, Massachusetts,
made such a splash with her Vegetable Compound for women,
the imitators were numerous and most weren't real successful like this one.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was a popular challenger.
This Kilmer's product sold a bit, but it never had
any real popularity.

A rare, sweet and DUG MINT specimen.

Under a buck to start, never a reserve
or more than actual shipping.
