Subject The topic of the resource This brilliant blue glass sherd was part of a bottle of medicine labeled with parts of the words “Druggist” and “Cambridge,” as well as (presumably) the druggist’s name. Only the letters “ILE” are visible on the top line. Cambridge was a manufacturing center in the 19th century, and in particular a leader in the glass industry. One of the top employers was the New England Glass Company, established in 1818 (Cambridge Historical Society). Though most of its production was “flint glass” rather than apothecary bottles such as this one, this company was the site of a critical invention: in 1827, a worker named Robinson invented the “pressing mould,” involved spreading molten glass into a mold with a plunger (Cavanaugh 38). This was the later of two 19th century innovations that made glass production far less expensive. The earlier method was blowing glass into a mold, which was practiced at the factory as early as 1819 (Toledo Museum of Art 18). This method was more appropriate for bottle making. This bottle’s mold would have had four side plates that would butterfly up, and one of these sides would be replaceable with a plate that embossed the desired text. Because of the ease of the interchangeable plate in blowing glass, it is possible that this bottle was not made in Cambridge. However, the presence of one of the east coast’s largest glass factories in the same city as the apothecary hints at the possibility that this blue bottle was molded locally.

Title A name given to the resource Carter's Ink Bottle Fragment Subject The topic of the resource In our current digital age, it is often easy to forget that there was once a time when and all written materials required ink to bring them to life on paper. That was the world in which Harvard students lived in during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when this ink bottle was manufactured. Harvard students’ demand for papers and inks would have been extremely high, despite the school's reputation as “ ‘the hardest college to get into and the easiest to stay in’.“ (Morison 1935, 369) Towards the end of the 19th century, Harvard underwent a remarkably rapid expansion under the leadership of President Eliot, which would have caused significant rise in materials for academics demanded by the school, including ink (Morison 1935, 373). With a near unquenchable thirst for inks with which to write, how would Harvard students and faculty fulfill their needs? It just so happened, however, that the self-proclaimed world’s largest ink manufacturer lay just a stone’s throw away at what is now 245 First St. in Cambridge, having just moved from Boston due to a need for expansion. (Faulkner 2003, 42). Carter’s ink produced a wide variety of ink products, ranging from small fountain pen inkwells to the larger cylindrical master ink bottle that is displayed here. Ink was never used straight out of master bottles, as it was transferred to smaller, more convenient inkwells first. These bulk bottles would have been ubiquitous around Harvard, and would have been used by both students and faculty to refill their inkwells.

Title A name given to the resource Turquoise Glass Bead Subject The topic of the resource This turquoise glass bead, a Class II 2A31, traveled all the way from Venice or Amsterdam sometime between the mid-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Parks Canada 2006; Hume 1969, 53). After traveling thousands of miles, the bead was likely part of a piece of jewelry worn by a colonist until it fell off in the Yard. Many historians and archaeologists focus on the role of glass beads as objects for trade with local Native American populations (Hume 1969, 53). However, the presence of this bead in the Yard suggests that it was more likely used by a colonist. The transition from the 17th to 18th centuries was an interesting time for personal adornment in the colonies. During the 17th century, sumptuary laws both in Massachusetts Bay Colony and at Harvard College restricted colonists to relatively plain and somber attire (Loren 2016, 144). The Harvard College Laws of 1655 expressly stated, “Nor shall any wear Gold, or Silver or such ornaments” (“The Lawes and Orders of Harvard Colledge, 1655-1708” 1655, 3). While this glass bead is not made of gold or silver, it was likely part of a piece of jewelry that would have been too flashy by strict Puritan standards. However, during the 18th century, as religious views became more liberal, sumptuary laws fell out of favor, and people began to adopt more lavish styles of dress. This bright turquoise bead is likely representative of this transition when colonists began to embrace frivolity.

Their families would not have given them their Fine China to dine with, but would have readily supplied them with this marker of status, which the families of poorer students would not have been able to afford. There would be no archaeological record of the wooden troughs that these poorer students would have eaten from, as the wood would have disintegrated over these past 200+ years.

Craftsmanship that incorporated a shell-edged design was particularly popular from 1780-1840. Its ornate design was a signifier of some level of material wealth, or at least the appearance thereof, as the objects used to lay a table spoke volumes about the host’s standing in society. Cohorts of wealthier students at Harvard during the late 1700’s may have held elaborate dinner parties, particularly members of the notable Porcellian and Hasty Pudding Clubs, whose names derived from the dishes that would be served at weekly meals (namely pork and hasty pudding, respectively). The importance of signifying class status shows that wealth inequality was endemic at Harvard during the 18th century, which makes sense given Harvard’s Puritan origins. Wealth was seen as a marker of hard work, a Puritan virtue that was passed down even as Puritan ideals of modesty went out of fashion.

Title A name given to the resource Large Fragment of a Curved Roof Tile Subject The topic of the resource Roof tiles, as preservers of structures and “buffers against the weather,” were necessary architectural components of Harvard’s early buildings (Sweetser 1978). Such buildings enabled Harvard to continue its educational mission. One of Harvard’s first structures was the Old College built in 1638 (Shand-Tucci 2001, 33; Bunting 1998, 5; Morison 1935, 191). Archival evidence describes it as the “largest and most imposing building by far in the English colonies” and “too gorgeous for a wilderness” (in Shand-Tucci 2001, 5). Although clay roof tiling was common from mid-seventeenth century, curved roof tiles are rare in the archaeological record of colonial New England (Hume 1970, 294). It can be assumed, therefore, that this roof tile’s place on an early Harvard building contributed to the perception of these buildings as one-of-a-kind and elaborate. Buildings in the seventeenth century, just like today, could set an immediate impression and were markers of purpose, status, and economic standing. This roof tile also contributes to a narrative of financial turmoil at Harvard: after all, materials and money for constructions were “scraped together in small donations” (Bunting 1998, 6). Local colonists with skills and trades donating resources (perhaps roof tiles) to pay for their sons’ educations (Morison 1936). The body of the building itself was likely constructed of wood, which under the weight of tiles, quickly led to it falling into disrepair (Cummings 1979, 49; Upton 1986, 359; Bunting 1998, 11). This further reinforces how at early Harvard, the showiness and flair of the buildings was an utmost priority in increasing social perceptions of the new college. Buildings that drew attention and legitimized the college helped the college to recover financially and encouraged new donations and new students to attend.

Title A name given to the resource Delftware Charger Subject The topic of the resource Who would think that a sherd excavated from Harvard Yard could reveal a legacy of England’s social structure renewing itself in Colonial America? Upon initial examination, the white tin-glaze with artistic blue design indicates this redware sherd is hardly ordinary. This white surface painted with a nature design and leaf hatching was intended to mimic Chinese porcelain, which was highly desired by Englishmen (Jefferson Patterson 2017; Hume 1969, 111). This more expensive glazing and design process, known as delftware, was frequently produced in England during the 17th and 18th centuries (Jefferson Patterson 2017). In the later 1600s, Americans sought more refined trade goods from England, including delftware (Deetz 1977, 79). The role of delftware in Colonial culture reflected its origins from the English culture, being revered as an item of sophisticated social distinction (Deetz 1977, 76). As such, delftware was often on display, similar to the pictures of the corner cupboard in a sitting room, reserved only for use at special occasions or hopefully admired by visiting guests (Deetz 1977, 83). Based on the flat shape of this sherd, and foot ring bump on the backside, possibly this sherd was from a plate or platter, such as the delftware plate picture, and likely acquired in late 17th century trade with England. This display of status would have been important to Harvard in the early 1700s to coincide with a revitalization in leadership and enrollment from its faltering years in the latter 1600s (Morison 1986, 54, 56, and 59).

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Tumbler Subject The topic of the resource From the beginning of Harvard College in 1636 until the late 19th century, the institution placed an emphasis on the Puritan religion that it was founded on. For instance, the Harvard motto “Veritas” used to be “Veritas pro Christo et Ecclesia” meaning Truth for Christ and Church. Harvard used to ban activities like smoking tobacco and consuming alcohol because of its Puritan roots. In 1869, a new President of the University, Charles W. Eliot, strayed away from the theology and to a more open environment. This meant less of a focus on religion and more of a focus on a secular education. The discovery of a 19th century glass tumbler at Harvard implies that there were people on campus who did consume alcohol. Tumblers, though, were commonly used for special occasions, which indicates that the consumption of alcohol on campus was not a recreation done by students in the shelter of their dorms, but more like a refreshment enjoyed by staff, professors, and of age students possibly over dinner. Basically, this implies that Harvard had a more accepting attitude about drinking alcohol at the end of the 19th century. In addition to more lenient rules on alcohol, in 1886, Harvard abolished the required Morning Prayer and made the practice of religion optional. This is a clear indication that the administration became less religious in the 19th century. There are also pictures of dining halls in the early 20th century at Harvard with tumblers lining the tables and a drawing of a dining hall in the early 19th century with no tumblers in sight. These both confirm the notion that Harvard progressively became more secular near the end of the 19th century.

Title A name given to the resource Bellarmine (Bartmann) Sherd Subject The topic of the resource Water flies from a potter’s wheel as a pear-shaped vessel takes shape outside Frechen, Germany. Business has never been better—hundreds of similar vessels stare out from quiet racks, waiting to be fired to their signature mottled, golden-brown salt-glaze and shipped throughout the civilized world. It is late in the 17th century, and Rhenish salt-glazed stoneware is at its height. The characteristic bearded faces carved into the necks of vessels are their signature of high quality, durable stoneware, well-known throughout the New World and Europe. Today, we call that same motif the “Bellarmine Man,” and seeing its face appear in the soil of Harvard Yard represents the extraordinary material and cultural diffusion between Europe and the Colonies. Finding just this single, fragmentary piece belies the incredible journey this vessel survived to make it to the Yard—from the potter’s wheel, it endured the fires of the kiln, miles of travel by crate and cart to the sea, weeks of lurching travel across the waves, and finally unloading—maybe in Boston, maybe another port along the coast—before it could be brought to market, purchased, and ultimately brought to the Old College. This grey sherd of baked earth embodies the relationship between Europe and the Colonies two hundred years before the industrial revolution, as the great wheels of England’s mercantilist machine began to gain momentum and the trappings of a global trade network and economy began to emerge. As global demand for Rhennish stoneware waxed, potters kept pace by producing more and spending less time on each piece. The quickness of those potters' skillful hands shows in this Bellarmine's grotesque, not-quite-human features. Description An account of the resource The eye stamped into this sherd makes it easily recognizable as a shard of Bellarmine, a name which alludes the Roberto Bellarmino (1542-1621), a Cardinal allegedly hated by protestant potters. Bellarmine-style stoneware has been dated as far back as 1550, however, when the Cardinal was only eight (Hume 1969, 55), so the face motif was more likely inspired by the Green Man of the woods originating in English folk myths. For this reason, Bellarmine vessels are more properly known as a “Bartmann” vessels, but Bellarmine’s catchy name is still in common use. As decades passed, the stamped faces on Bellarmine vessels became less human and defined (Museum of London), and comparing H939’s Bellarmine fragment to photos, its facial features most closely resemble the “grotesque” bellarmines of 1650-70 (Hume 1969, 56). The bottle this particular sherd was once part of was likely used by residents of The Yard to store wine, ale, oil, vinegar, or water, since Rhennish stoneware was fired at a high enough temperature (up to 1300 degrees) that much of the clay would vitrify, making it completely waterproof (Maine.gov).

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Brass Key Subject The topic of the resource This key likely dates to the mid-nineteenth century and is of a type known as a bit key (the bit being the “tooth” at the end of the key) (Hume 2001:246). When the key is inserted into the lock and turned, the bit lifts up one or more levers that release the bolt, and then slides the bolt inward. For added security, bits would often have grooves cut into them that corresponded to projections attached around the key hole (known as wards) or they would have different levels cut into the edge that corresponded to differently shaped levers within the lock (Blackall 1890; Eras 1957; Hopkins 1928;). This particular example features a plain bit that would have corresponded to a lock that afforded little security. Coupled with the small size of the key it is likely that it was a furniture key, unlocking a cabinet or drawer, or the key to a small box or chest (Taylor 2010). Given the lack of security, the use of this key and lock would have been connected to a demarcation of private space—a declaration of privacy rather than a deterrent of theft. In Victorian America, the importance of private contemplation and an emphasis on individual rationality were already aspects of the culture that stemmed from both Protestant and Enlightenment ideals. The Industrial Revolution further reinforced the idea of private individuality by highlighting the separation between “home” (private) and “work” (public) (Lears 1981). It also led to overcrowded lodgings and tenements which forced people to find privacy at a more individual level by keeping locked chests and boxes of personal belongings (Vickers 2008). Although mid-nineteenth century Harvard was not part of an urban setting, many students who could not afford private lodgings still had to share living spaces (Morison 1936). The wish for more privacy would have likely led students to use locked drawers, cabinets or chests to store some of their more valuable or sensitive possessions.

The size of glass panes was restricted so architects would use rods of lead to create larger windows. Modeling the English, Harvard’s buildings typically followed a Colonial style during this time where windows had no trim or shutters. In the early 17th century, glass was expensive and difficult to obtain in New England, making glass windows an item of luxury. Since glass was imported from England, New England buildings with windows often only had small, diamond paned windows with one casement opening. Glassless windows were usually filled with oilpaper. Although generally precious at the time, Harvard invested in glass for its windows in the buildings as an attempt to pour resources into the College. During the construction of Harvard, the College bills showed a fair amount of repairs being done on the buildings with a capped budget, however the amount spent on glass did not have a limit. The amount of resources allocated towards Harvard, such as its glass, represented its importance within New England and the Colony more broadly. In 1643, the College announced its mission of the college: "To advance Learning and perpetuate it to Posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate Ministry to the Churches." Harvard’s political and religious impact on Massachusetts Bay promoted intellectual advancement in the Colony as being the first higher education institution to exist. 17 metal https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/anth1130/original/b51aa57a5288af87a4d85fb92ac25782.png de1ec6225cf874e24223c7106476c86f https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/anth1130/original/16ba5caeb7fc4eb91976a355064def7c.png d38d6bb4be741f6cf3587adf2ccab7e1 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/anth1130/original/a7f1cbe350800266d58cdbcb4e3ef961.jpg 1f00b799c6155bc1454bbad6a918d77e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Porcelain sherd Subject The topic of the resource Sitting elegantly on a wealthy Bostonian’s sideboard, a porcelain lidded container acts as a physical embodiment of wealth and status. Accompanying the container is a collection of porcelain tableware reserved for special occasions. The cupboard, located in the kitchen where guests are entertained, is the stage upon which wealth is displayed for those lucky enough to visit such a high-class estate. Inside of the expensive, foreign-made box is a collection of personal items such as a double-toothed comb, a signet ring, and a handful of silver coins. A container of this sort made a long voyage from China in the 19th century, partly explaining its steep cost and rarity in early colonial New England. Trade networks contributed most of the early ceramics to the area, the Chinese trade network being one of less attainable and therefore higher-valued networks. Puritan values in colonial New England first emphasized simplicity and plainness. Extravagant displays of wealth were not looked favorably upon. However, over time this perspective loosened and outward signs of wealth became more acceptable in society. Having both a practical purpose for storing items and a social purpose of representing the owner’s wealth, the Chinese porcelain container remains a rare and exciting find. In Harvard Yard, a porcelain sherd reveals the range of wealth of those at the Old College. Description An account of the resource Blue and white, flat, triangular piece of Chinese porcelain.

Title A name given to the resource Pipe bowl fragments Subject The topic of the resource This artefact is a pipe bowl probably dating to the 18th Century, since it has two letters impressed on the bottom of the heel, which was probably a maker’s mark (Oswald, 1975). Smoking was a common habit at Harvard all through the Colonial period and after, as demonstrated by the large number of pipe stems found in digs at Harvard College and by comments in letters like the attached image from the 19th Century, decrying the ‘Evils of Tobacco.' Smoking or ‘drinking’ tobacco was explicitly banned in the College rules in the 17th Century (Loren, 2016), except in the case of medical prescription. Although in our century, we largely associate smoking with ill-health and think of it as a dangerous habit, in the 18th Century smoking tobacco was prescribed for a number of illnesses. According to one writer in 1712 (The virtues and excellency of the American Tobacco plant, 1712), smoking tobacco ‘destroys Worms in Human Bodies, and is likewise by Experience found to be a Remedy against Leprosies, Scurvy and Itch.’ Loren (2016) lists still further illnesses tobacco was thought to cure, and also points out that the use of tobacco by the English suggests exchange between Indian and European communities, as well as a shared emotional community around health and wellness. In colonial New England, health was not just a physical but also a spiritual matter. In the attached images, you can also see a poem pointing out the spiritual benefits of smoking tobacco, and how pipe-smoking can act as a spiritual experience and as a metaphor for the human soul.

During this time period, the nation was embroiled in the Civil War and its immediate aftermath. The 2-cent coin was a departure from previous denominations and it is hypothesized that public acceptance of the coin was due to extreme shortage of coins during the War. The coin was most in demand from 1864-1866 and waned in popularity as the country recovered from the economic strifes of wartime. This particular coin was found at Harvard University, a school that was deeply affected by the Civil War. Harvard students and alumni served in the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment beginning in 1861. Harvard affiliates fought on both sides of the war and a total of 1,662 men served. Of these men, 246 died and the 20th Massachusetts regiment is known for its high casualties. Although the men of Harvard were not pressured to join the cause, many chose to enlist, as did many alumni. Classes at Harvard continued during the war and the students who survived the carnage returned to graduate with their classmates. To commemorate the sacrifice that many Harvard men made for the Union, Memorial Hall was erected and dedicated in 1874. The names of Harvard men who fought for the Union are listed on plaques that are still on display in Memorial Hall today.

Subject The topic of the resource Though the Harvard of today is recognized the world over for its iconic red brick architecture, the first purpose-built structure, the Old College, was undoubtedly constructed of wood, with 4,000 boards purchased in 1642 to side the building as it neared completion (Davis 1890). This means that the bricks uncovered in our excavation served very specific purposes, likely either as part of a chimney or the cellar, which excavations in the mid-1980s discovered had a brick floor (Stubbs 1992). The decision to construct such a monumental building from wood was likely influenced by Massachusetts’ prolific timber trade, since bricks at this time were still largely imported from England as ballast in the bottom of ships (Long 1971). However, early Harvard College records include a £2.15 charge for brickmakers, suggesting the bricks used in the construction of the Old College were some of the first made in what was quickly becoming a major new industry (Stubs 1992). In fact, the first house in Massachusetts made entirely of brick was erected in Boston in 1638, two years after the first land grant for brickmaking was issued (Reis, Leighton 1909). The premature deterioration of the Old College, which by 1679 is only referred to in the past tense, coupled with rapidly expanding local brick production, surely played a deciding role in the choice to construct the neighboring Indian College (1655) and still-standing Massachusetts Hall (1720) with brick, cementing (literally and figuratively) the association of Harvard to red clay bricks just like this one (Davis 1890; Reis, Leighton 1909). 17 brick https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/anth1130/original/5f0e204bc8fe4a0919591cbbe9ffcb63.jpg 9de6e6086ae948f3b9513f2fde32b2c7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Red Clay Pipe Bowl Subject The topic of the resource This pipe was likely produced in the Pamplin area of Virginia, which indicates that not only that Harvard students broke the school’s smoking rules in the 17th century, but also that they invested in the endeavor. Although a large majority of people smoked tobacco daily in this time period (Hume, 1970), it was very uncommon for a student to own a red clay pipe during colonial New England, which implies that this student went to great lengths to display that he came from a wealthy background. Social status dictated most areas of life at Harvard during the 17th century such as which buildings students lived in, where they ate and whether they were admitted to the college in the first place (Hall, 1856). Social status could be differentiated from smoker to smoker through the material of the pipe and the engravings or lack of on the pipe bowl. Tobacco was very inexpensive during this time period so it was common for most people to indulge recreationally, medicinally and even as a food substitute. The fact that there are no engravings or molds on this particular bowl suggests that the owner of it was not of exuberant wealth to pay for an intricate design. Of course, just as in the present day, the rules at Harvard then still prohibited the use of tobacco on campus and in dorm rooms.

Title A name given to the resource Flint Tavern Glass Fragment Subject The topic of the resource Since glassmaking was the first industry in America, glass artifacts are able to reveal many clues about early Americans’ daily lives, social hierarchy, and the beginnings of Harvard. This glass shard was once a part of late 18th century tavern glass, often referred to as a “thumper”. In a 18th century Colonial American tavern, or an “ordinary” as it was referenced in Puritan Massachusetts, the thumper was filled with varying alcohols ranging from beers and ciders to wines and mixed drinks; however, rum was the staple of every tavern since it was a liquor that was unique to the colonies. Although one of the primary functions of the tavern was to carry on the traditions of British drinking, the early taverns surrounding Harvard had stricter practices on drinking and drunkenness was strongly looked down upon with the dominating Puritan culture of the time. Drinking out of this piece of clear flint glass with a grey cast, members of each social and economic class were able to engage in discussion and form a community in a Puritan Massachusetts ordinary, although some communities did not welcome Native Americans or African Americans. The 18th century men of Harvard could often be found at the tavern on Dunster Street discussing politics, their academics, or the latest gossip going around the College. Although it is a small piece of flint glass, this artifact signifies a community formed within an ordinary that was made up of differing social classes and that allowed discussion of politics, society, and travel to prosper.

Title A name given to the resource 19th Century Wine Bottle Description An account of the resource During the 19th century, some students at Harvard could barely afford to eat as is evidenced by students’ inability to find decent and affordable food after the closure of dining halls in 1825. The excavation of this wine bottle draws attention to divide between the lower and upper class with respect to dining and drinking. Some students were members of social/dining clubs and could afford to drink expensive wines, whereas others could barely afford the Harvard dining hall. In 1807 students engaged in a rebellion against the dining services at Harvard, stating “their biscuits were bad and coffee bitter” and because of this pushback the college eventually closed their dining halls in 1825 and allowed students to dine outside the college. Image 1 depicts a satirical picture of food fights in the dining hall to emphasize the protest of dining hall conditions. While some students could afford to be part of social dining and drinking clubs such as the porcelain club, the fly club and the AD club when Harvard dining halls closed, many could not afford the cost that came with the dining hall closure. The college realized that students from less privileged backgrounds needed Harvard dining services so reopened The Harvard dining association in 1874. This narrative demonstrates how although our excavation of wine bottles may lead us to believe that students were wealthy and could afford alcoholic beverages, this may have not actually been the case. Many students struggled to find food at economical costs and therefore were probably unable to carouse and drink with their classmates. Therefore, a deep divide must have existed between those of the upper class who could were privileged enough to afford the luxury of drinking and those who were not. Some students of a lower class may have felt alienated from those that were from a more elite group because they could not afford to drink and socialize with wealthier students.

Accessed March 25, 2017. https://sha.org/bottle/medicinal.htm. Subject The topic of the resource In the colonial period, little was known about health, so practices to address it were suspect. Most medications were self-prescribed and administered, as doctors were scarce and often poorly trained. This led to a proliferation of patent or proprietary medicines that continued into the 20th Century (Lindsey 2016). Colonial medications were naturally derived, and marketed to cure a wide variety of illnesses. Most popular in the mid-19th Century, sarsaparilla contained 18% alcohol and was made from root extracts (Lindsey 2016, Griffin 2014). It was thought to purify the blood and even cure heart disease, edema, rheumatism and scrofula (Griffin 2014). As a medication, sarsaparilla may have escaped scrutiny under the alcohol rules of the college. This bottle was produced by C.I. Hood & Co. of Lowell, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1875, and produced a number of medicines including sarsaparilla (Griffin 2014). Hood’s and its main competition, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, were some of the biggest pharmaceutical advertisers of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, when sarsaparilla use started to become less medicinal (Lindsey 2016). In the early colonial period, pharmaceutical bottles were characterized by conical kick-ups that flattened by the mid-19th Century (Hume 1969, 73). Rectangular glass bottles with indented panels were popular throughout the 19th Century, with embossed words appearing at the height of the patent medicine boom in the second half of the century (Lindsey 2016). Regulations on drug labeling and manufacturing didn’t arise until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, so most early patent medicine bottles (such as this one) were embossed with the contents and name of the manufacturer (Lindsey 2016). 19 20 glass
