Bromo Sltzer Cobalt Bottle - Lizzie Borden

With embossed message on the base reading:
Headaches Bromo Seltzer.
The link between a Bromo Seltzer bottle and Lizzie Borden is quite intriguing. After the infamous murders of Abby and Andrew Borden, Lizzie Borden was given a medication called Bromo Caffeine by Dr. Seabury Bowen to help calm her down. This medication was contained in a cobalt blue Bromo Caffeine bottle, which has since become a notable artifact associated with the case.
Bromo Caffeine was a mixture that likely contained both bromides, which are sedatives, and caffeine. Despite caffeine being a stimulant, the combination was intended to calm nerves, possibly by balancing the effects of the sedative.
The Bromo Sltzer bottle Lizzie drank of is not this one. This is another one of course and a little more recent.
