    What do you think this means?

    Thank you, I think you are both correct. I found some references to a Towle's Pennyroyal and Steel and a Blanchard'e Apiol and Steel in More Secret Remedies by the British Medical Association 1912. In both cases they contained Iron Sulphate so I guess that's it. I should have known that as I...

    What do you think this means?

    A bottle I have in my collection (image below) is embossed: HEALTH STRENGTH & ENERGY BALDWIN'S QUININE & STEEL ELIXIR WALWORTH LONDON What do you thing "STEEL" actually was? Can it really have been bits of steel....

    A new book added to the collection...

    Because I collect 19th century medicine bottles I get tempted to buy home remedy books from the same period ;) I just purchased Cox's Companion To The Family Medicine Chest and what is interesting is that it has 6 pages of labels to cut out at the back. I have never seen that before.

    John - The problem is that here in the UK the banks charge a minimum of $12.50 for paying in a dollar cheque. Converting dollars to UK pounds and then back again to pay our US hosting service is not very practical either. Working through a good friend's PayPal account is one way but I have...

    Have you seen a pontil like this before?

    This is the pontil on a 18" fisherman's float, is it modern do you think?

    Have you seen this Irish bottle?
