It was sort of a competitor to Lyons but as you'll note the Philly insect powders are a slightly different shape and certinly newer than the pontiled Lyons. Still a nice bottle to dig.By the way,Lyons had a run of at least thirty years and incorporated flared(yes flared!) lips  all the way up to 1/4" square band lips. (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 4

I can only imagine what they stuck in there if the makers had ethics similar to the patent medicine vendors. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 6

RE: Glentworths insect powder philada - 12/13/2007 6:51:02 PM    pupman   Posts: 236 Joined: 11/30/2005 Status: offline Lyons stated in his advertising that the active  ingredient came from "the flower Pyrethrum,grown in the provence of Caucasia,Dalmetia and Tillis,Persia in Asia" and was the secret of the success of his powder.  Imitators followed and certinly used some dubious if not downright poisonous ingredients.  P.S. Of course what he claimed was in the bottle and what truly was could turn out very different,just look at William Radam and countless others!Whatever the true ingrdients(and I have several original bottles with labels and contents) no one can dispute that Lyon had a very successful run with his "magnetic powder",at least 35 years.Kev (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 7

That is an effective, not very toxic to humans, and biodegradable.  Its still made today from the plants of the chrysanthemum family. I figured they used arsenic or some other super toxic compound. That might explain why his product was so popular, it may of been very effective. If the stuff in your bottles was an organic pyrethrum its probably long ago degraded and become inert. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 12/13/2007 7:27:15 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to pupman) Post #: 8
