This tiny pill bottle was made by the Brunswick Pharmacal Company in the early 1900s and is embossed on the back with B.P. Co. and a pair of backward Ps, as is typical of these bottles. There are remnants of its original label on the front, but the text is hard to read. The bottle is rounded on the bottom and is 1 ⅝" tall by ⅝" wide. It shows minor wear but is not cracked or chipped. These are rare collectors items and charming little pieces of history. They usually contained papoid tablets that were thought to ease indigestion, and the company was later taken over by Johnson & Johnson.
