Platypus Brand, Tasmanian Native Remedies, Sassafras Pills, H T Gould, 77 Bathurst Street, Hobart. Original glass bottle, complete with label and contents within a box! (Tasmania) Medicine Pills Applied top. Clear. 1/2 oz. 63 mm. 1890s
Near Mint. A superb piece related to the famous Platypus Brand eucalyptus bottles. The bottle here is great with just a few little neck scratches. The label is superbly detailed and great with just a couple of minor stains. There is an original leaflet inside which on its own is a superb piece of advertising, stating what the product is used for, a great big picture of the platypus. This has some stains and marks, but for its age is quite good. The box is solid. The lid and flaps are a little beaten around. Some wear and stains to the outside of the box. What a magnificent piece all round, quite a unique opportunity, these will not often come up in this amazingly complete and original state. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $50 - 75
