Woormwood - 12/17/2007 10:09:09 AM    Oldtimer Posts: 2508 Joined: 5/13/2004 From: Effingham NH. Where else? Status: offline Wasn't it Absynthe (sp?)... I found a very ornate clear glass "beaker" shaped bottle, with the word  "Wormwood" etched into it in a bold and ornate style. It is BIMAL, with a Pat med type squarish tooled top. A pear shaped beaker type. Lots of panels and stuff...it has a glass stopper, looks orig to it...It' marked @$10.00, I know it can be bought for $8.00.....it's just that I never cared for etched glass, and I don't really have a big interest in apocothary type bottles...unless this was some wierd kind of barber bottle? Or a decanter for the drink? Can anyone clue me in here? _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !! I think I see a cellarhole !!! Oh Well...... Post #: 1
