Description

This 9.5cm vintage cobalt blue medicine bottle came from a dump site near a late 1800s first aid post/general store close to the western outskirts of New Plymouth in Taranaki.

Several battles during the Land Wars took place nearby, further to the west of the city.

I vividly remember digging up this bottle and couple of dozen or so others at the new-build house site of a close friend about 50 years ago.

The bottle is seven-sided and in very good condition.

Other finds included aromatic schnapps and other bottles, plus household and kitchen items from the era.
