ANTIQUE AMBER CHEMIST BOTTLE WITH ORIGINAL LABEL – Camphorated Oil, William Pickard, Bude
An antique amber chemist bottle with part of its original contents and the original label and cork. The bottle is circular. The original label is printed ‘Camphorated Oil. William Pickard M.P.S, Dispensing & Photographic Chemist, Bell Vue, Bude & Stratton.’ There is still a pharmacy in the same building, more than a hundred years later. Here is an old photo of the chemist shop in 1910 – William Pickard Chemist, Bell Vue, Bude, Cornwall
