    I have a medicated wine bottle made in Hong Kong. The back side reads that it was prepared by Hang Lam Chong, and the base of the bottle has an I-O inside of a diamond with the number 25, 4, 13. If someone can give me more information about this that would be great. image.jpeg

    UMMMMM, on the second image....of the label....in the reading in ENGLISH.....I kinda think they might mean "BLOOD" Builder....not "FLOOD" Builder??:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Let alone the fact that it contains: Five Snakes, Raccoon, Leopard Something-or-other and Bastard Ginseng to name a few (whatever that is ???????:woot::woot::woot::woot::vomit::vomit::vomit::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:

    EDIT: BUT anything written in Chinese, sorry, I cannot help with....although there are a few who CAN read and translate Asian languages!! Am I correct, @Any Jewelry ??

    You are correct, there are a few, but in this case it is not me. For me strictly Indonesian. And a bit of Javanese and Madurese, if written in Latin script.
    The Chinese text is probably the brand name and info which is also in English. I can't read the brand name, but that would probably be ....-Loong-Yee-Fu.
    I think the gentleman on the picture is Hang Lam Chong, who prepared it.

    The bottle was made by Owens Illinois bottling.
    Would a Hong Kong company have ordered bottles from the US?

    Should it also be in ounces?
    I’m also curious to see the red seals, if you can post a photo.

    Doesn't it seem odd that while the front is Chinese, the back is English?

    I don't think the bottle is very old. The label is colorful and fun, but I suspect this was bottled for sale in the U.S. A Chinatown special.

    Not unusual for Hongkong, or many other parts of the world, like where I live.
    Hongkong is bi-lingual, multi-lingual really. And many Hongkong products are exported to other parts of Asia, and sometimes other parts of the world.
    If Brian is in the US, it could have been imported into the US, or just brought into the country by someone from Hongkong or the republic of China.

    I don't think the bottles were imported to the US. the company has branches in Asia, Europe and Australia. furthermore you can choose the languages on their site, a.o. that simplified chinese. my one and only word in Chimese I learnt was meo.
