A couple nice meds...

Nice to "finally" meet you and Tom, Joe. I enjoyed talking with you! I almost bought a pontilled Trask there but it had painted embossing (hate that) and was over priced.

Likewise Brian! I probably mentioned it last night in an unrelated post,...but great to meet you and your Dad too! I'd love to learn more about your research at Mount Vernon Glass Works sometime too. I have a ton of Trask's but none pontiled (yet)...That paint marker washes right off with a little zip strip...[] I saw a few bottles that tempted me, but none in my price range except the above two...I just had walked up to the guy as he halved the price on them...

Like that Hive Syrup Joe. Have a couple of Ransoms recipe books an 1901 and an 1872. Both advertise the Hive Syrup. I'll post a pic or two tomorrow.

Yea, I know it comes off but I don't want to be bothered (it's a quirk, we've all got 'em) []

Thanks Rory...I'd love to see them,..The color on the hive syrup reminds me of your blue Dr. E.C's Balm...

Ransom sold the Miller's as well as the Cooper's Magnetic Balm.

The ingredients in Hive Syrup are Squills, Senega Root, Skunk Cabbage Root, Lobelia, Tartar Emetic, Balsam of Tolu , and the Purest Sugar. Yum.....Yummy[]

Can't seem to get these pics to work out. I'll try later my battery ran out. Did get one. The hive Syrup from what I can tell was made by David Ransom in 1859 and was sold thru the 1940's. and at that time it was being sold under the name Dr. Ransom's Syrup Compound.

Hi Joe, I think I saw those bottles for sale at my friend Tom Kanalley's table. He's a great guy, very knowlegable too.
