Hi, all, back after long absence. I found a Codd bottle at an antique shop today for $12.08 and couldn't leave it behind at that price when I found it so curious. Intact with the marble in it and in very good condition, but a bit cloudy. Greenish-clear. Marked "O.D. Murphy, Wellington and...
Thank you very much! The bottle I saw was, I think, smaller, and had a different photo on it - it reminded me of the picture you see on certain cough drop boxes. [:)]
Saw a bottle in an antiques mall this afternoon that had what appeared to be the original cork and was filled with a solidified substance that looked like white paint. The label, which was in color and about 90% intact, said "Vanilla-Vanillin Coumarin" at the top, feature a picture of a bearded...

My very first antique bottle - I have all of two, in addition to a modern collection - was a corkless and empty Hicks Cappudine bottle I purchased for all of $10 (the going rate, I believe). I was fascinated by its claim to cure everything from headaches to grippe. Does anyone know what the...
Hello, I am brand new to this site! I just bought a bottle of Sperm Sewing Machine Oil yesterday at an antique mall, and I'm afraid I made a mistake by removing the (I now realize) original cork and cleaning out what remained of the original oil, which had pretty much solidified. The reason...
