Hi, our buddy bought this at a flea market. He was wondering if any one knew anything about it. In the books we could only find the cobalt one. He wants to know how old it is and what it could be worth, Thanks for the help.

The clear and Aqua KS-14 are very common.
These also came in Cornflower, Cobalt & Green (which are harder to find and worth a bit more). There are 3 different embossings known & at least 4 sizes between 4†to 8†US & English.

The bottles are generally common, but the burners they go with are fairly scarce.​

Here's a typical Vapo - cresloene burner. You poured the liquid into the bowl, lit the flame and voila - breathed in all that carcinogenic steam ! Wasn't medical science wonderful !! [:'(]

Here is the box the burner came in, with two different sized bottles :-

I love that sentence : " No injury is experienced by the most delicate child or person in health from inhaling Vapo-Cresolene."

Yeah, right !!
I remember a steaming bowl of water & a towel over the head so that you inhaled the steam as being a darn side safer (as long as you didn't spill the bowl on your lap!!)
