Offered is a handsome unique reproduction photographic print of  a rare antique Heroin Bottle produced by the Bayer Company in the 1800s, the same company known today for inventing and producing the Aspirin. 

These vintage bottles were part of a Medical Museum collection that we were permitted to photograph. The new reproduced prints for sale measures 5x7 inches on glossy photo paper stock. Shipped unmounted and unframed sleeved between cardboard.

Heroin was prescribed for reliving a cough and to cure morphine addiction, it was sold between 1897-1904 over the counter until the mid-1900s.

The name Heroin was used, because apparently early drug testers said it made them feel heroic. By 1899, Bayer was producing about a ton of heroin a year, and the drug to other countries including the USA.

After addiction became apparent Bayer withdrew Heroin from its production line.
