Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy - 2/23/2006 10:52:26 AM    falconer Posts: 109 Joined: 5/24/2005 From: Wichita, Kansas Status: offline I'm stumped. I found a Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy H Clay Glover New York in a deep teal blue. It measures 5 1/16" by 2 " at the rectangle base. It has sloping collars. Really stunning color but I can't find much about it. I'd post a photo but I have a software glitch and can't download photos. But I bet you bottle slueths can help me know what I found. Post #: 1

Thats a hand blown bottle isnt it? The Glovers come in some odd colors , the last teal one I saw sold for $150. Value of those depends a lot on color shade and intensity. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to falconer) Post #: 2

It has a ring collar but the seam lines go through to the lip, very strange but yes it does appear to be a BIM, with good crudity, and awesome color. It is the darkest teal bottle I have in my collection and it is attic mint. (in reply to falconer) Post #: 3

I got one on ebay a few years ago and sold it a short time later, never suspecting that there might have been repros out there... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!"

RE: Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy - 2/23/2006 12:31:39 PM    falconer Posts: 109 Joined: 5/24/2005 From: Wichita, Kansas Status: offline Again, not sure if it is a repro or the real thing. It is crude and fairly heavy with a sand particle embedded in the upper back panel. It has the number 412 embossed on the base. I wish I could load a photo but hey the tech stuff sometimes goes crazy and I can't dowload at the moment. Thanks for the help. (in reply to falconer) Post #: 6

RE: Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy - 2/23/2006 2:52:20 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 11470 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Now that I think about it those weird color Glovers do mostly seem to be ABM, although I have had unverified reports BIM versions in aqua and teal. There is another bottle that is very similar... Dr KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS AND COLDS M. H. MALAIKA & CO. It is also usually ABM and comes in many odd colors. I have no reason to believe these bottles are repros or fakes at this point. They have been dug so I know they arent recent. They arent very common so they arent hard to sell. Its a good topic to look into. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to falconer) Post #: 7

RE: Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy - 2/23/2006 4:30:42 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 11470 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Interesting ... Italian fakes. That's a good one to note. I'll bet the Dr Kings were of similar origin. Of all the beautiful shaped bottles to reproduce , you wonder why they would pick a common shaped Distemper medicine? Must of been whatever washed up on the shore in Naples? Or as that author guesses they got hold of old molds. I still think there may be some aqua or teal BIM non-Italian Glovers as they have been reported to have been dug. Good job researching Bear < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 2/23/2006 4:37:15 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to falconer) Post #: 9

I'll have to make sure we keep the next example we dig. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to falconer) Post #: 10

RE: Glovers Imperial Distemper Remedy - 2/23/2006 5:00:46 PM    falconer Posts: 109 Joined: 5/24/2005 From: Wichita, Kansas Status: offline I'm impressed. Great job of research. I don't know if it is authentic or not. It is a wonderfully crude, colored specimen with a 412 embossed on the bottom, not a sticker. If I ever choose to sell it I will certainly include the information you provided. I love this forum! (in reply to falconer) Post #: 11
