How to get this Arden Apoth reparied? - 2/9/2007 9:07:35 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I have a reallynice ARden Apothecary, Dark Glass, strawberry puce which sadly, has been broken with a chip out of it for thirty years. We never had the heart to throw it out. It is beautiful. It was given my wife by her late father and I would like to repair it. first I need to get the stopper out so I can line the inside (somehow). My first question, and I will have many, is how do I get the stopper out? Ep Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Who made it and why. Her father was an engineer and inventor. He was around laboratories all the time. There are three light marks in this picture. The little red one is the true color of this bottle. I will try to get a better picture of the glass for you. Ep (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 3

RE: How to get this Arden Apoth reparied? - 2/14/2007 9:53:56 AM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I always felt as communism fell in Russia, it was being embraced here at home. Certainly, not by me. I would assume the usage of the word 'Unity" came about during the ten years before your American Revolution. Vermont was the "snakes head of the rebellion" with regard to Wentworth's land grants vs Skene's. The Unity would have been between those who believed Vermont to be a free and independent territory. Of course, history books would have one believe it all started at a bridge dividing Lexington/Concord. Taxes, teas and tarrifs.... ..... and land, rich with fur and other natural resources (and beauty) The big interest money from Boston and NY were all interested in.
