J E Gombault's

[Road Dog]

Ya'll may have saw this on Feebay and were like [:'(] but, I saw a neat bottle anyways. These Gombault's are easy to research lots of good info and such on them. Got it in the mail and in was nasty! Some crud had leaked out and you could smell it. This stuff contained:
Croton Oil
Cotton Seed Oil
Oil of Camphor
Oil of Turpentine
Kerosine
Sulphuric Acid

Needless to say I cleaned her up. Label is real dark and worn , but I can read it a bit. Bottle is a nice dark aqua and heavy.

I had one at some point with a perfect label and the contents. Now I can't find it. I think I must have sold it before one of the moves. I was always concerned about bottles with contents breaking. I usually lost one or two bottles each move before I decided just to pack them up and put them in storage until the moving stopped.
I'll just have to find another....
The hunt is part of the fun.

I dug up on of those last year, they are pretty cool bottles. Love that the label is still on it.

Nuthing worse than a 'leaker' coming thru the mail, not to mention it often trashes the label(s). [] I have an assortment of regular kid's balloons, I find one that fits real snug and stretch it over the top, then zip lock baggie it before packing. Haven't had a problem since.

Yeah , I think I would have made an effort to seal that top before mailing.
