Great effort, Matt! I found three more that I have which are not listed. Two of them are in my basement, but I think I know exactly where they are. If you would see my basement, you would know that this is pretty amazing []. As soon as I dig them out, I will send you some pix.
Did you get the one I sent you of the pontiled Van Vleck bottle? ~Jim
Cool, I just wanted to make sure you got the pics. My email program has an invisible gremlin that will occasionally eat pictures and even entire emails. They show up in my Sent Items, but the recipient never sees them. It doesn't happen often, and I've given up on trying to figure it out, but it can be annoying. ~Jim
GUTH: UNDER THE "D'S" YOU HAVE A LISTING FOR A "RALPH H DARBEY" AND THE PRODUCT "DARBY'S PROPHYLACTIC FLUID-J.H. ZEILIN AND CO. PHILIDELPHIA". THIS PRODUCT WAS ACTUALLY DISCOVERED AND MADE BY "JOHN M. DARBY"[NOT RALPH DARBEY UNLESS IT WAS A COPY CAT MED.
JOHN DARBY WAS BORN IN MASS .IN 1804 AND DIED 1877. HE TAUGHT IN MASS. FOR A BIT AND OTHER PLACES AND FINALLY ENDED UP IN AUBURN ALABAMA. HE TAUGHT AT WHAT NOW IS A HIGH SCHOOL. HE LATTER HELPED TO FOUND AUBURN UNIVERSITY.
I HAVE A 9 1/2 TALL BIMAL,SMOOTH BASE,BLUE AQUA BOTTLE [VERY HEVEY] EMBOSSED ON FRONT 'DARBY'S PROPHYLACTIC FLUID" ON ONE SIDE "J.H. ZEILN & CO." ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE "PHILADELPHIA"
THIS IS THE FIRST ONE OF THESE BOTTLES I HAVE EVER SEEN. THERE ARE COMMON ROUND CLEAR AND AQUA ONES,BUT LIKE I SAID THIS IS THE FIRST ONE LIKE THIS I HAVE SEEN!
I WONDERED IF A PONTILED EXAMPLE EXISTED. WOULD LOVE TO SEE ONE IF YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF ONE!
I ALSO HAVE A PAMPLET FOR THIS PRODUCT SIGNED BY THE PROF'S. DAUGHTER.SHE HAS UNDERLINED CERTAIN THINGS IN THE PAMPLET!
THOUGHT THIS MAY BE SOME HELP. YOU DO A GREAT JOB!! JAMIE
