What is this used for? - 1/20/2007 11:37:58 AM    zeesb   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/20/2006 Status: offline One more question folks. Does anyone know what these apothecary bottles were used for? Humidor? Tobacco? Herbs? Fruits? The tops look to be "fill and drip". I've never seen the like since I picked them up in 1975. Below is the pic of the Tops. Here's the link to the pic of the jars on the site : http://www.bbantiquebottlesforsale.biz/gifs/Apoth%202.JPG Thanks much! B Zee Attachment (1) Post #: 1
