Glass front? have you tried cleaning it? Try a Q-tip dipped lightly in rubbing alcohol. Do a test patch about a half inch square to make sure it wont lift the paint. I truely love things like this. Harkens back to simpler times. Lobey. (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 11

I'll let you know how it turns out. _____________________________ Gary (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 13

RE: Slippery Elm Lozenges - 6/19/2007 2:33:52 PM    lobeycat Posts: 4026 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline Leave the glass right where it is. Clean it Q-Tip method inside and out then with a little windex. The glass is as much a piece of history as the tin itself. Unless of course you can find a 100year old + piece of glass to cut to size.

RE: Slippery Elm Lozenges - 6/19/2007 2:51:04 PM    lobeycat Posts: 4026 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline Here's some cool info..... In 1847, Henry Thayer M.D., opened a laboratory on Main Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts to produce his newly developed line of herbal extracts for sale to the medical profession. Born in 1828, into one of Massachusetts' founding families, he was trained in the medical arts of his day by his physician father. His method produced, for the first time, standardized strengths, enabling physicians to regulate dosages accurately. The company, named Henry Thayer & Company, prospered and broadened its line of products and has been described as the largest manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in America at the time of the Civil War. In 1875, the company had over 800 herbal based products in the form of tinctures, infusions, syrups, poultices and wines. In the early 20th Century, emphasis was changed from herbal based extracts to compound formulas known as "patent" medicines and the product line now included children's remedies and lozenges.   The coolest thing is they're still in bussiness today making the same product. Just goes to show ya... make a good product and it will sell its self.... forever. Lobey. Attachment (1) (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 16

At the base of the bottle on the tin it says Cambridgeport,Mass. & in the link it says Cambridge. Did they change the name of the town or was their 2 different places? _____________________________ Gary (in reply to justadddirt) Post #: 20
