Antique Warner's Safe Bottles
The Warner's bottles are some of the most beautiful and desired bottles.
While some bottle collecting books lump Warner's bottles in with Medicines
and/or Cures, these bottles are special enough to justify their own category.
Warner was originally a safe manufacturer. To help prevent copies of his medicines,
he embossed his copyrighted design of a safe on all the Warner's Safe products.
Some of the products put out in bottles by Warner's were:
- WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY & LIVER CURE is one of the most common bottles and
was only made in Rochester, N.Y. Most of the safes are hinged on the
right, but a rarer variant is
hinged on the left.
- WARNER'S SAFE CURE
- WARNER'S SAFE NERVINE Example at top right of this page
- WARNER'S SAFE DIABETES CURE
- WARNER'S SAFE RHEUMATIC CURE
- WARNER'S SAFE BITTERS
- H.H. WARNER TIPPECANOE
which is a cylindrical bottle with embossed canoe and tree bark.
The Tippecanoe bottles were either a Bitters (rare) or Tonic (common) -
bottle has to have the original label to tell for sure.
- LOG CABIN PILLS
- LOG CABIN EXTRACT
Labeled Example
- LOG CABIN SARSAPARILLA
After the Food and Drug Act of 1906, Warner's was forced to change the word "CURE"
to "REMEDY".
There are also reproductions of the Warner's bottle:
