    Gilchrist Lid?

    Virginia patent & proprietary Medicines

    I'm interested in doing a survey of known medicine bottles from Virginia. It seems the main centers for medicines were Richmond, the tidewater area (norfolk, hampton, portsmouth, etc), western bigger towns like Roanoke and Staunton. So much of VA was very rural until the 20th century. I would...

    poison?

    in the current glassworks auction they are calling this bottle a poison with a wasp embossed on it. Looks like a honey bee to me. Seems atypical of english poisons. Is there some documentation that these are really poisons?

    Oil lamp filler can

    This is something I got from my mothers house. I think its an oil can for filling oil lamps. It came from the MD Eastern Shore and was supposedly used on a light house there. I'm guessing 1920s??? I need to sell some junk to pay for book printing so I guess its going to get gone.[;)]
