Snuff bottles had a stopper with a small ivory spoon attached to it, from which the snuff was inhaled.   Dont know if yours falls into that really old category though....  _____________________________ J (in reply to opie) Post #: 5

A bottle like DOC MARSHALL'S SNUFF would be the snorting type. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to towhead) Post #: 6
