Genuine TILLY, Haarlem Holland - 1/17/2003 7:02:06 PM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1131 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hi everyone, I posted, not long ago, a picture of the bottle mentioned above on my recent Finds page. I also posted a message on a newsgroup as well. Three other people posted there and mentioned other Tilly bottles. We are all looking for info and the meaning of Tilly and it' s use (Dutch I suppose). The finds page is located at: http://members.aol.com/meechuta/finds.html Thanks to all, ' Meech' Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Genuine TILLY, Haarlem Holland - 1/17/2003 8:07:14 PM    Guest This bottle contained ' Haarlem oil' which was sold as a ' Kidney, Liver and Bladder' remedy amongst other things. It was banned in its original form in the US about 1906 but had been sold all over the world since Claas Tilly invented it in the early 18th centaury. Nice bottle and nice website Meech!

I will probably post your reply on that newsgroup as well, because three others are looking for this info. and I don' t know if they check in here. I took this to our last bottle club meeting recently and some said that this was probably a common bottle, but they weren' t really sure. It' s a keeper if you ask me and it doesn' t take up much room. Thanks again for your help and reply. Sincerely, ' Meech' I' ve just added a guestbook on my website, along with some bottle related questions. Please visit and sign it when you can.
