No Ball Game Today - 7/10/2010 6:57:27 PM    bombboy Posts: 398 Joined: 3/2/2008 From: Upstate NY Status: offline So I got to go garage saling after all. Didn't have high hopes, but I'm glad the wife and I got out. First stop, the guy said come back in an hour and I'll have a box of bottles for you to look at. Not much in the box but a couple of Sanfords Inks, both less than two inches tall and Utility Varnish Renovator for car finishes. Then it starts raining like crazy and the wife calls it quits. So I grab my daughter and we head back out, don't find anything else and the phone rings. An old contact I nearly forgot about wants me to come by and see some bottles they found while clearing out the house. I had been to their garage sale over a month ago and had left my number. Glad they called......pictures are not all that good, but here's the list. Left back to front JNO Wyeth & Bros John Wyeth & Bros square sided w/dosage cup Trademarks Masons Improved 1/2 gallon w/original closure & lid. Haven't searched red book yet. Hygienic Laboratory square sided. Anyone know this one? Finally my very own poison, 3 sided, minty fresh. K number anyone? E.J. Heffernan, Saratoga NY soda w/original closure. Nice local, near mint. Wheaton Dr Fisch's repro, couldn't resist. Three strap sided flask, large amber and two clear warranted w/round slug plates. Ribbed flask w/metal  screw top, thought it was cool. Marked Universal Pat Feb 8 1927. Two each Horlicks Malteds. Figured my daughter can pack some marbles away in these bad boys. And finally a Bocksbeutal w/glass seal that reads Burgerspital, Wurzburg. Another one that caught my collecting eye. Other than the bottles, I snagged a Wolf miners lamp, 1950's chemistry set, not complete, but it was thrown in with the rest, and a Victorian cast iron wall sconce that I think held a candle or oil lamp. I'll post those here in a while. Thanks for looking and any information is always welcome. Mark Attachment (1) Post #: 1
