    Deepbluedigger help!

    Google found two references to the term chymist/chymst. "ROBERT BOYLE: from The Sceptical Chymist (1661) A Dialogue on the Nature of Combustion" and "Chymst, corner Queen and Albert streets, Brisbane. ...... Birmingham." The first one spells the modern term Chemist as Chymist...

    Deepbluedigger help!

    It seems odd that someone would go to the trouble of abbreviating a five character term - "Burma" - to a five character term - "Burm.".

    SOME LIP CHIP!!!!!!!!!

    Had to laugh at that lip chip. Maybe the person was selling each half separately and simply got his images backwards.

    I found a Holloway's Ointment Pot.....

    I think it is one 'boob out', not plural. Either way, here are three Holloways I've dug in Halifax. The two on the right are London, the one on the left New York.

    Super Scores

    There are some interesting bottles in that set of pix. The cobalt Wyeth and the opium vial are nice.

    Hello, epgorge. Nice to make your acquaintance. You're right when you say it is not a pontilled bottle. And yep, it has a nice lip. Thanks for the feedback.

    Common bottle list

    I just googled a bottle that's sitting in the window in my livingroom, Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera etc., and saw one listed on the bay for US $24.30. The seller should have read this list first, apparently.

    Dr. S.S. Fitch 714 Broadway N.Y.

    Raising the dead on this thread but I have a smaller version of Dr. S.S. Fitch's bottle. I wonder how many sizes it came in. Here in Canada they likely are less common than in the states.

    pitcher/decanter

    I got this decanter from my mother years ago. It includes four glasses. The set is hand-painted and the decanter or pitcher has a very nice pontil scar though the glasses do not show pontil marks. Is anyone here familiar with the make or style of this pitcher/decanter?

    Date my inks?

    Hi, surfaceone. Sorry for the delay in replying. As it is, I stand corrected. Apparently the expo of that year in that city was merely an 'Irish expo', at least from what I gather. I had been told it was a world expo. As to the inks, there were four in the set, the one I am missing is a cobalt...

    Date my inks?

    Hello, norflo2norcal. Here are five Carter's inkwells. The three on the right are stamped 1897 (from the Chicago World's Fair of that year). Note the difference in neck, collar, and shoulder design from the two Carter's inkwells to the left (which bear no date). Your aqua Carter's seems to be...

    Dutch Lady's Leg

    Old maps show New Belgium in America, yet it also was known as New Nederland. This is because Belgium and the Netherlands were at one time interchangeable terms.
