new glass for the new guy - 12/20/2011 3:25:24 PM    russo   Posts: 22 Joined: 12/19/2011 Status: offline I know the Sloan's isn't old at all but the other 2 had a charm i couldn't pass up for a few bucks each. Supposedly the other two are "1880s-ish" who knows. Not a huge fan of scouring antique shops but I gotta get my fix somehow until I can find a dig spot :) i'm a sucker for anything local < Message edited by russo -- 12/20/2011 3:26:03 PM > Post #: 1

Does the middle bottle read "The old original Human Potion"??? _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.

I wish it said Human Polish, the first word is Roman :) the label makes it sound like a combination polish, delouser, bedbug killer. And the tincture is from a few towns over from where I grew up. thanks! (in reply to Plumbata) Post #: 4
