    b
    owl.
    Back in the day
    drug stores were more like variety stores, they sold many things, including pet fish, like Gold fish.  BUT they
    also sold leech's
    for use in connection with blood work, blood letting, bleeding, so in the
    ancient traditional apothecary shops, leech's were possibly kept or sold in a bowl
    like this.

    This is a super-old fish bowl, with nice, crisp REXALL drug store advertising embossed in the glass.   Back in the day, many drug stores sold fish as pets, such as
    Gold Fish, Siamese Fighting Fish, even Guppies, as there was no television, radio, internet, or cell phones to keep a person entertained.   Even Leech's were kept and sold in early-day apothecary shops.  The bowl here is a
    SUPER nice example,
    clean
    ,
    sturdy
    , the
    embossing is bold and crisp
    , there are
    bubbles in the old blown glass
    , and it is GUARANTEED OLD and ORIGINAL,
    check it out!
