Great bottle ! Most don't realize how rare these labeled bottles are now a days. To have survived more than 100 years tucked away in some drawer or cabinet is amazing. I know of at least one labeled Prof. Dean's Barb Wire Remedy bottle. It sold on Ebay back in 2008. To see it follow the link; http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/clinton-iowa-med-king-cactus-oil-barbwire

Thanks Railman and GateKeeper. I bought this one on eBay several years back. The box it was shipped in was nearly destroyed, luckily the bottle made in one piece!!
