A pair of vintage pharmacy vials with period-correct labels. The larger vial is labeled "Tower Reliable Prescriptions, 9501 Avalon Blvd." with "Pyridium" typed in, while the smaller vial carries a printed label for "Pentids Soluble" (penicillin G potassium, 200,000 units) by E.R. Squibb & Sons, complete with the era-typical federal dispensing caution text. Together they're a nice small slice of mid-20th century pharmacy and medical history, appealing to collectors of apothecary items, medical antiques, or drugstore advertising and ephemera. Please note: these are offered as collectible artifacts only, not for any medicinal use. Condition Report: Good vintage condition, wear commensurate with age. Both labels show toning, foxing, and edge wear typical of paper labels this age; the smaller vial's label has some loss and lifting at the edge. Original caps are present on both. Liquid contents remain in both vials; potency and safety are not implied or guaranteed. Keywords: Vintage pharmacy vial, apothecary collectible, Squibb Pentids, penicillin bottle, drugstore collectible, medical antique, pharmacy advertising, vintage medicine bottle, prescription vial Dimensions: H: 2.25", W: 1.5", L: 0.75"
