UNIQUE! Unussual Embalming fluid bottle.

[Sir.Bottles]

Hi, Thanx for looking! []

This is one of my unique bottle collections a bit unusual vintage embalming fluid bottle.
This amber bottle is ABM 6 inch tall, 2 ¼ inch diameter no embossing, the glass have some bubble, cylindrical/round unlike the mostly found square shape embalming fluid bottle.
The glass is attic mint just slightly a stain on the lip, neck, & shoulder of the bottle (I think it is the dried residue from the original content), the cork is original (judging by the red wax that cover the top of the cork & some of the same wax that still sticking on the bottle lips) & some of the crystallized residue still remain inside with strongly smell of formaldehyde, the label is very near mint just some torn on the edge.

Pretty unusual & weird, eh ! Any comment? [sm=rolleyes.gif]

I can share with you an interesting bottle that I had in my collection. The bottle was rectangular in shape with a square collar band tooled lip. Clear in color with an amethyst tone. The bottle was approximately 7 inches tall.
Embossing read as follows; front panel written vertically shoulder to base. G. M. RHOADES / GRAND RAPID / MICH. Left side; ELECTRIC BALM. Right side; USE EXTERNALLY ONLY / ON THE LIVING. Written vertically on the neck; POISON

However the letters ON of the word poison was partially rubbed out due to the tooling of the lip. It was an interesting bottle and I actually saw another example of this bottle years later at a bottle show.
