Condition
:
Bottle is in very good condition. It has a few patches of wear/stain (patina) and a paper thin flake off the backside of the lip, too small to show up in a picture and so small that you have to you look for it to see it. There isn't anything significantly wrong with it, NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. PLEASE see pictures for idea of bottle's overall appearance.
Age
: A hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, dating back to the
early 1900
era
.
Shipping
: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE 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
.
As mentioned, this bottle is an Owl Drug HYDROGEN PEROXIDE or simply 'PEROXIDE' bottle as most of the ones ever seen with paper labels showed that is what they contained. But it also has a similar look to an old MICHELOB beer bottle, so they are referred to as the Owl 'Michelob' bottle.
What is amazing is that they are not that common but when you do see them for sale, they are reasonably priced, compared to other amber Owl Drug bottles. And then also, the little bird embossed on this bottle is an odd perfectly balanced 2 WINGED bird which is unusual as just about all of the early BIM mold blown bottles known of have the notorious one 1 winged - off center bird on them, and yet, this one shows 2 wings both evenly. An anomaly if there ever was one! This one is made up of nice clean glass as it seems most of them are,
