RE: what is Florida water - 12/10/2002 4:10:35 PM    Guest Florida water was a 19th century Toilet Water product. The embossed bottle in aqua is worth about $20-$40 (more with label, less without). I own one of these. http://www.luckymojo.com/floridakanangawater.html A similar toilet water from the same era was Kananga Water. _____________________________ Always looking Mint Cola bottles, and local bottles from North Carolina (in reply to Guest)   Post #: 2

According to a web site I found, the name " Florida Water" refers to " the fabled Fountain of Youth said to have been located in Florida." This very interesting and unusual site indicates Murray & Lanman are still producing it today and that it is a popular product use " in rituals of home protection and spiritual cleaning, to scent bowls of water set out for the spirits of the dead" !!! Here' s the website for the curious: http://www.luckymojo.com/floridakanangawater.html Good luck! --Andy (in reply to Guest) Post #: 4
