KBbottles, thanks for looking. One could just collect oriental meds and you would never run out of styles and variations. The cobalt ones are more desirable as expected but I like them all!

Do you collect opium pipe chambers and other chinese stuff? If so I would like to see pics someday. (in reply to 808 50th State) Post #: 26

Luckiest, I have a bunch of oriental bottles that I dug over the years. I would gladly put a few pics together for you. I have mostly dug items so nothing to fancy. I do have a few opium pipes poor condition and misc. items that I can share. _____________________________ " I got my own shovel ready project" (in reply to luckiest) Post #: 27

(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: online That's pretty impressive Rocky,...125 bucks....I had no idea some of those items were worth that kind of money...That's pretty cool that you'd walked that trail and just now found the bottle!, I always wonder if I'm ever stepping past other good glass when I'm heading into a spot....The oriental characters vertically down the middle look cool with the graduation marks on the edges....Do you ever try to get the characters translated? I like the way that bottle looks. What was in the TM bottle? I see those sometimes from you guys....Did I see one recently that was a citron color? Anyhow nice finds, and keep on keepin' on Tony, Thanks for sharing. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to rockbot) Post #: 32

RE: classic! - 7/20/2010 3:32:57 PM    rockbot Posts: 3268 Joined: 6/17/2009 From: Hilo, Hawaii Status: offline riverdiver, that is a much earlier one. very nice.thanks for sharing! pyschodoodle, great little goes with you got. what age is that box? Joe, from what the lady told me, its one of the earlier and harder ones to come by. As far as the oriental meds, My friends wife usually does the translation for me. I'll have to get her to look at it. I'm not sure what the contents of the TM bottles were. The off colors, citron, green amber etc are very hard to come by.

RE: classic! - 7/21/2010 1:01:15 PM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Not sure on the age - my guess is the teens? Insert has information from George W McFatrich, M.D., Founder, Northers Illinois College of Opthalmology & President of the Murine Eye Remedy Company.  Found this, which was rather interesting... I notice Otology was removed from the name of the school on my insert. Starts at top of page 607 http://books.google.com/books?id=uic9AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA608&dq=george+w+mcfatrich+md&hl=en&ei=FwZHTMDZCIP78Ab8wMHlBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=george%20w%20mcfatrich%20md&f=false Also found this.. I'd look at this one first, then go to the above post. http://www.museumofvision.org/bios/?key=69&subkey=9&relkey=112 _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.
