reese chem co

[judu]

i got to get out and dig this morning before it got too hot. i dug this reese chem co bottle and would love to know more about it. all i could find was info on the company itself but not the bottle. i was extra happy that this bottle does not have a scratch on it and the slick bottle that was under was all busted up. that NEVER happens. ....any one know any info on this one?...

It is the brother to the KR-38. The only differences is the KR-38 is Cobalt and has FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY at the top where this has INTERNAL and green. Actually, this is one of the errors in the Kuhn's books. It has Green as one of the colors for the KR-38, but this is a MED and not a poison. It lists a Clear issue as well, but I have never seen one. bbt I'm thinking that's a med too as it's not listed in the updated APBCA book. All the green one's are MEDs that I have found. There is a picture of the poison issue on our web site.

I have always wanted one of these as the Yin to our poison's Yang for this group, as it makes a good set. []

They are relatively common... I have found several of the poisons on lately. But like many, they come and go in waves.

I think I once read that it was for treating maladies of your 'private parts', or other bad ailments you might have picked up somewhere....[]
