Well I have decided to stick to collecting one make of bottle. Northrop / Lyman, a Canadian manufacturer so if anyone has any for trade or sale let me know. The only N/L bottle I am not interested in is the Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil, anything else I would be open to trade or buy.
Thanks

I have a "National Bitters" listed right now and a nice set of unlisted Canadian Bitters "Wilsons Herbine" plus the usual apothecary stuff.....check it out. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtmblwedeQQhtZ-1
I just listed 5 sets of apothecary/chemist bottles and jars, all starting at $1.99 with no reserve. Great stuff if you collect these style bottles. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtmblwedeQQhtZ-1

Working at a chemical recycle facility I get to try cleaning glass with just about every chemical know to man. Since we do Waste Day collection, I find a lot of jars and bottles filled with paint. Although you might think paint should clean up pretty easy sometimes its a real pain in the @ss to...
Not that rare or valuable as some of my stuff, but one of the favorite bottles in my collection. Its actually very purple looking but after taking 20+ pictures in all different lights all I ended up with was a cobalt blue pic.
Found this one at work today, almost missed it. Some tricky pharmacist tried to fool me by covering the embossing with a Mercurochrome lable... [:@] lucky for me some of the label was missing and the embossing caught my eye, or it would have gone through the shredder [8|] I was going to clean...
I have seen lots of these at work [:@] Next time I will save the tin once the pestice is disposed of.

Heres 2 bottles I found this week. The first is a "Dr. Tafts" Asthmalene sample...to bad about the lip chip, and the second is a British "Kilners" small poison.
Well, finally back to work. Thank god I made it past the last two layoffs. Heres a few bottles I picked up this week.
There must have been a sale on Nitric Acid bottle because 80% of the smaller ones are embossed with it. [8D]
The green De Kuypers was a cool surprise, even if its a screw...
Well, I've been in court for 3 weeks (jury duty) and on vacation for a few more. Looks like I have a crap load of reading to catch up on. Hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to getting back into the loop here [8D]

Hi All
I am thinking about listing this bottle and need an idea of worth for a starting point. It is in mint condition with the label having a small tear in front of the name, SilverLine.
3 inches tall, ABM with base embossed "3" and retains original cork.
Thanks
