insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do
NOT
insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what
YOU
pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the
ACTUAL
shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates

A
scarce bottle to find and the first one of these we have encountered.   Quite possibly unique with the 'Optician' embossing.  Back then many of these antique eye medicine bottles contained OPIUM or MORPHINE to really soothe the pain of an eye injury but in the early 1900's the Pure Food and Drug Administration started to crack down on such use.
What also makes this bottle desirable is that this bottle is from a time when eye medicine was advertised as a 'REMEDY' or 'CURE', and some proprietors of such medicines even went as far as to claim that their concoction could cure blindness!
A super nice example here

heck it out!
