Shipping
:
FREE
domestic shipping.   We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international 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 important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  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 your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
What an OUTSTANDING LARGE example of an antique narcotic laced medicine bottle.  The label plainly reads "
COCAINE HYDROCHLORATE
", with parenthesis under this that enumerate on this by reading "(Cocaine Muriate)" and includes "(PURE) 4 Percent"!  It also goes on and tells us something about this apothecary shop that is not in the embossing, that it was in the 'MASONIC TEMPLE' in old 'MEMPHIS' TENNESSEE.  You will see these Robinson Apothecary labels for sale from time to time, for different products, so they are around.  It appears that there was a 'basement' find of them when they cleared out the old shop.  But you don't see the bottle's very often and you rarely find the bottles with the label.   So it is refreshing to find one of the labeled bottle's that both
label and bottle are from the same old apothecary shop, nearly 150 years ago,
check it out!
