Hi, Ed, I have an old glass pharmacy bottle with a cork and inside there’s the pharmacist’s name; it looks like “J. Keuper Pharmacist, Trenton, N.J.” The lettering on the bottle’s front looks like “South Clinton Avenue.” I also believe I have one of the first motor vehicle handbooks. Can anyone let me know how old the bottle is and what year most of these handbooks were printed?

Do any historian-types out there care to date these items? Give BackTalk a call. —Ed. Note
