Another minty fresh poison - 2/2/2006 11:47:13 AM    atticmint Posts: 214 Joined: 10/28/2005 From: Honeymoon City Canada Status: offline Well its been quite a few weeks since I have found anything worth posting a pic of. Havnt even found much of the regular chemist and apothecary stuff, but last night I came across this. Original cork and the label is perrrfect sep for a small rip in the corner. The pills were purple coffin shaped with a skull and crossbones on one side and "POISON" on the other. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I guess they would classify as poisons, since all of them contained poisonous material. They make great sellers on Ebay and help supply my Bitters and Poison collecting addiction Kev Attachment (1) (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 5

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/3/2006 1:52:58 PM    atticmint Posts: 214 Joined: 10/28/2005 From: Honeymoon City Canada Status: offline Heh..they dont come that clean, but I have almost every chemical known to man for cleaning at work. Just last night I discovered that Potassium Chromate cleans Silver Nitrate stains. The embossed bottle in the picture was so stained that you could not see through the glass. I tried everything from Hydrogen Peroxide to Chromic Acid and nothing worked until I hit it with the Potassium Chromate. It is still a bit stained but much better. (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 7

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/8/2006 7:05:31 PM    atticmint Posts: 214 Joined: 10/28/2005 From: Honeymoon City Canada Status: offline I have seen the Nitrate go as much a $30 and as little as $10 on Ebay. This one was made early 1900's. I sell the 250ml Hydrochloric bottles for $10 and the 125ml for $5 to my regular (off Ebay customers) The trademark on the bottom will give you an idea on the age. The Nitrate is embossed M.B.W. (Millville Bottle Works N.J.) and dates 1903-1930. Take a look at the neck opening, if it is smaller and the stopper head thin, then its an older version. I think Wheaton made these bottles right up to the 1950's. The earlier ones were embossed "T.C.W." and later read "WHEATON / NO-SOL-VIT". I have also seen "W.T.&Co." and a few other trademarks on the bottom of these type bottles. Kev < Message edited by atticmint -- 2/8/2006 7:06:33 PM > (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 9

It neat that your work lets you bring them home after disposing of hazordus materials. They might as well be sending you money lol Brian _____________________________ Know anyone around Abilene Texas that digs? (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 10

Anyway...they all have the origional glass stoppers in and he said they've been there since he worked there...he's been there for almost 25 years... (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 11

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/9/2006 3:25:47 PM    youngpup Posts: 108 Joined: 12/9/2005 From: Pennsylvania Status: offline I looked at the bottles he had and he has a lot of the brown ones in the left of your picture...what were they...and how rare...and almost all of the acids have T.C.W. USA on the bottom...any info... _____________________________ Jesse PA...Home of the Good Ole' Boys (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 12

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/9/2006 5:07:07 PM    atticmint Posts: 214 Joined: 10/28/2005 From: Honeymoon City Canada Status: offline These are all up on Ebay now...when I just checked I couldnt believe how much the bids are on the brown bottles. Its really hit and miss, sometimes I list bottles just like these and get a few bucks for them.... and other times they go for a great price. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-Beautiful-Brown-Glass-Chemist-Bottles-Clean-LOOK_W0QQitemZ7587930791QQcategoryZ26404QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 13

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/10/2006 10:05:17 PM    youngpup Posts: 108 Joined: 12/9/2005 From: Pennsylvania Status: offline so...what does the T.C.W. on the bottom of the acid bottles mean? (in reply to atticmint) Post #: 16

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/11/2006 8:23:28 AM    atticmint Posts: 214 Joined: 10/28/2005 From: Honeymoon City Canada Status: offline Holly Crap..the Silver Nitrate bottle just jumped from $9 to $45 sorry got excited there for a sec. The "T.C.W." trademark stands for "T.C. Wheaton Co." made in Millville, NJ and this trademark was used from 1888 to present, but most of the newer Wheaton embossed chemist bottles are stamped "WHEATON/NO-SOL-VIT" The older versions will have thinner stopper heads, a smaller opening and bubbles in the glass.

RE: Another minty fresh poison - 2/11/2006 10:55:54 AM    youngpup Posts: 108 Joined: 12/9/2005 From: Pennsylvania Status: offline So...if one of my acids with a T.C.W. on the bottom and a U.S.A below that...what would be the approximate date...i don't know what to compare it to when i'm looking for a smaller hole...or a thinner stopper...all i know is that the stoppers have no rubber or anything on them...pure glass...I didn't check for bubbles though...I'll look on monday in Chemistry...
