Help with info on this Iron Pontil medicine?? - 9/6/2008 8:00:49 PM    tfredrich   Posts: 167 Joined: 10/9/2003 Status: offline Unfortunately I found this one diving today without it's top. I was quite happy to see the Iron Pontil on the bottom. I hardly ever find anything Iron pontilled. It reads PROFESSOR WOODS / HAIR RESTORATIVE DEPOTS / ST.LOUIS & NEW YORK. Anyway I will show all 4 sides as well as the base in subsequent pictures. Is it (or was it) any good? Thanks for your replies in advance, Tom Attachment (1) < Message edited by tfredrich -- 9/6/2008 8:07:03 PM > Post #: 1

The smaller ~7 1/2" ones are more common. The 9" large size are fairly rare.  the IP ones are better than OP. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/6/2008 8:44:04 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 tfredrich) Post #: 7

I really do not collect these, as my focus is on just Wisconsin stuff.... Tom (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 9

Nice find! and I wonder how that top came off so cleanly.....it would be a great one for a top repair. Doug (in reply to tfredrich) Post #: 10

Also, keep in mind that once repaired it would make a good display for small museums, libraries, or similar places where a repaired damaged item can be displayed just as well as a valuable perfect item. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 9/8/2008 7:40:13 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 tfredrich) Post #: 12
