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 a great looking bottle in this smaller size and with the embossing all contained within an indented panel.  Not just that, but it is rare too, as a matter of fact it is UN listed.   Unlisted?   We cannot find one of these listed in our vast library of books specifically on antique bottles.   It is also embossed REMEDY, a Remedy, which is a category of collecting in itself.  Then there is the
PURE PURPLE color.   You hear about old bottles turning purple ... this is the result of being made with manganese in the glass, a mineral that was pulverized and added to vats of liquid glass that acted as a decolorizing agent to turn the natural aqua-tinted glass into a pure crystal clear colorless glass.  Exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun or other sources of UV rays, triggers a chemical reaction and the manganese oxidizes and turns a wonderful amethyst color.   We had a friend of ours accelerate the sun color purple process by passing this little bottle through an industrial food sterilizer which has the same affect as the sun, but lots faster.  With few exceptions, only glass made before 1914 will turn purple.  Not only does this deep purple/amethyst color make this a great looking little bottle, but it also authenticates it as being truly antique
.
The OVAL shape, embossed 'REMEDY', all embossed within a PANEL, and the beautiful
PURPLE amethyst color ALL contribute to making this a very desirable little patent medicine bottle
