Description

Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "The museum has a collection of over a hundred hand blown jars with bubble stoppers and with the original pharmaceutical contents still intact. These jars correspond most closely with the US 1850 Formulary of medicinal substances, and they were bought from Philip Shieffelin, Haines & Co., New York. Philip was a cousin of the main succession of Shieffelins who founded and still manage the New York firm of Shieffelin & Co."
