Lyons powder look alike & flip glass - 4/3/2011 5:08:34 PM    bottle man   Posts: 482 Joined: 9/19/2004 Status: offline Hi, I just purchased these two Items out of an old house that I am slowly buying things from. The first one looks just like the lyons powder but reads John F Henry and is smooth base but probably 1870s I believe.Anyone have any Info or a value as I would like to sell but cant find any Info. The second is a large flip glass that is etched with flowers and grapes and is also smooth base but maybe from the same time period. Any Info on this one as well and maybe a value as I am clueless.Thanks ,Kevin Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Status: offline Not sure about your Lyons look alike but my wife would love to have the glass.  Looks like a large,purple version of her parateef (have no clue on how to spell it) glasses.  Makes me wonder if it's irradiated. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 4/4/2011 6:21:27 AM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

If your wife likes it make me an offer because I would like to see it go to someone on the forum than put it on the bay. Let me know. Thanks, Kevin (in reply to Poison_Us) Post #: 7

Worth a good bit. J F Henry was a huge patent medicine proprietor. They owned some of the most famous early medicine lines. Nice find. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to bottle man) Post #: 8

I have dug them here in Sacramento and in a few gold camps in the Sierra. All that I have seen are a pale yellow to citron, but no wild colors like Lyon's. _____________________________ Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 10
