I have for you two Otago (Dunedin) chemist bottles. A nice and early Otago Drug Store in ice blue glass, dating from around 1890-1900 or so with an early spun lip. And a rather neat TUSSI-CURA Wild Cherry Pectoral Balm quack cure bottle - with a label! Rare to find a bottle this old (c1905 or so) with a label intact, showing that it was prepared and sold by Dunedin chemist J Evans. Likely the bottle is generic and sold around the world, with local chemists having secure the rights to prepare and sell it locally with their own labeling. The quack cure is clear glass with a spun top.

Condition wise, the Otago Drug Store bottle is a little cloudy, has some scuffing on the back, and a bit of chipping around one base corner on the back side, with a tiny hole in the glass. While not "show quality" it's a good display bottle for collectors of Otago/Dunedin chemists. The Tussi-cura has some dirt but is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks or other faults. Some age wear to the label (not surprising!) but no other issues.

As always I'm happy to answer any questions I can about the items I list :-) Please click or tap on the photos to enlarge for detail and to judge the condition for yourself.
