I Dug Up a Seemingly Unknown Chicago Medicine and a Malt Extract with a Civil War Connection

I returned to the creek where I found an 1890s household dumping ground to see what else I could find. My second trip didn't disappoint as I uncovered more bottles, an ink well, and a few more clay pipes. The top two finds that stand out are both amber bottles most likely used for digestive issues. John (JNO) Wyeth & Bro, Philadelphia, Liq. Ext. Malt and Tyndale's Formula Syr Eucalyptus. John Wyeth's company supplied the Union Army with medicine and Beef Extract during the American Civil War and got their start in 1861. The Tyndale's Formula bottle is a bit of a mystery. It's possible this company was based in Chicago and operated for only a short time. I was unable to find any similar examples of the bottle I dug online. #hiddenhistory #antique #treasurehunting #bottle #newengland
