OK...SO THIS ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF A COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE BOTTLES IN A "BARBER SHOP" COLLECTION...DISPLAYED WITH OLD 1900 ERA PRODUCTS USED AT OLD SCHOOL DOWNTOWN BARBER SHOP

THIS IS A GORGEOUS SUN PURPLED BOTTLE, THAT WAS LEFT IN A WINDOW AND WAS EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT AND TURNED A GREAT COLOR....THE LABEL IS ORIGINAL TO THE BOTTLE....

THIS ANTIQUE "BAY RUM" BOTTLE WAS IN A BARBER SHOP DISPAY, AND IT CAME OUT OF AN EARLY BARBER SHOP....I NOTED THAT "BAY RUM" WAS OFTEN USED IN THE 1900 ERA AFTER A "STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE" AS KIND OF A POST-SHAVE SPLASH OR "SKIN TONER". BECAUSE OF THE HIGH ALCOHOL CONTENT OF 50%....A BARBER SPLASHED A GOOD AMOUNT OF BAY RUM ON HIS HANDS, AND THE RUM ACTED LIKE AN ANTISEPTIC TO SOOTHE THE SKIN

BAY RUM WAS SAID TO HAVE PROVIDED "A SHARP STING AT FIRST, WHICH QUICKLY FADED INTO A COOLING SENSATION ON THE SKIN"......IT WAS A STAPLE IN OLD SCHOOL BARBER SHOPS........ALSO I LOVE THIS BOTTLE ALMOST HAS A "WHISKEY BOTTLE LOOK" WITH THE LADY LEG STYLE NECK !!

THIS IS A BELIEVED TOUGH MERCHANT VARIETY TO FIND ISSUED BY "UNITED DRUG COMPANY",...AND A BEAUTIFUL UNCLEANED SPECIMEN....HOPING YOU CAN TELL  HOW NICE THIS ONE IS FROM MY AVERAGE PICTURE TAKING ABILITY :)...THIS IS A GREAT BOTTLE, HAS BEEN SITTING ON A SHELF FOR MANY YEARS...WOULD BE GREAT IN AN OLD BARBER DISPLAY

I have inspected this bottle, seems really nice..glass is very nice, label is still intact, (see gallery)...Can find no cracks, chips, or damage, it is a real beauty with bubbles in the mold....displays very well.....it is a rich sun-purpled color glass, and stands 9 3/8" tall ....believe tough to find with original label intact

Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles. 

Nice antique bottle, AND  BELIEVE TOUGH TO FIND.....SUN PURPLED COLOR VARIANT , TALL SIZED 9 3/8 TALL, A FULLY INTACT BARBER SHOP STAPLE "BAY RUM" BOTTLE ISSUED BY "UNITED DRUG CO",   which would have been made in old towns of SAINT LOUIS MISSOURI & BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS.
