Any Australian poison collectors? - 4/10/2006 11:47:22 PM    Jim Posts: 2429 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Are there any Australian poison collectors here? I have been checking out Aussie poisons lately, and have developed a liking for the square and rectangular ones with the crosshatch/lattice design. If anyone has any, I would love to see some pics, and would be happy to buy or trade for a few if they are available. Thanks, Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm Post #: 1

Lacey Melbourne square amber about 4 and a half cm tall. Just bought a big one from this company, I'll take a photo of it over the weekend and post it in this thread.

Your pictures are pretty good in my opinion. Thanks for sharing them. Some types of these bottles were actually made in the U.S. by Whitall-Tatum and exported to Australia and South Africa. Do you know where I might be able to buy a few chemists like these? Thanks again.

The blue one is a Whitall-Tatum made bottle and the amber is Melbourne Glass Bottle Works made (big M on base). (in reply to Jim) Post #: 5

They are popular bottles, and really tough to find here in the US. If you would find any spares, I would be happy to buy or trade. Good luck digging!

Embossing reads - J. LACEY / BOURKE ST. / MELBOURNE / POISON, and it's Melbourne Glass Bottle Works made. The photo is real life sized. Attachment (1) (in reply to Jim) Post #: 7
