Radium Trink Kur Bottle (ca. 1920)

Radium Trink Kur Bottle (ca. 1920)

The label on this empty bottle reads "Radium Trink Kur." You don't need to be German to know that this means radium drink cure.

I am guessing that it dates from 1910 to 1930, although it might be of more recent vintage. It probably comes from Germany, however other German-speaking countries (e.g., Austria) are possibilities.

That no residual radioactivity is detectable suggests that the contents, possibly water from a "health spring," were not "spiked" with radium.

Size: ca. 10" tall (25 cm)

I wish I had more useful information.
