yard saleing found this cool bottle/crate - 5/28/2005 1:15:10 PM    lachance88   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/28/2005 Status: offline Bought this just today and wondering about value? I'm going to keep it no matter what, it's old, looks cool and I just bought a new house so I can start my collecting again, more room.... It's a wooden crate with a Posion label - formaldehyde from whitmoyer laboratories inc in myerstown pa.. inside was this HUGE bottle, like the kind people put pennies in - with poison scum still in it. Bottom of bottle has a huge "G" on the bottom, and the year 1929 and the number... I'd say it's a 5 gallon capacity... I'll try to upload a pic, but my comp is pretty lousy..... BTW, the bottle has no chips or cracks anywhere!!!! Thanks in advance couldn't get pix to upload... sorry Post #: 1

The Crate could be worth a few bucks!!!, the bottle is even better to have!..... DO NOT REPAINT or REFINISH THE CRATE!.... also try to get a pic,the better/size/ type of "FONT/lettering" they use could bring a few extra dollars! I also have a crate but from Sharps and Dohme and abit earlier "late 1800's", post this in the posions section....... _____________________________ It's time for another TEA PARTY!!!!
