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

A Montana BARB WIRE REMEDY antique bottle, embossed, labeled, sealed with contents, in original box.   The ultimate and most complete antique horse and cattle cure bottle one could hope for.   No doubt it is unique as well, only so many of such antique bottles survived the elements of time with paper label's intact, in box, and still sealed with the remedy.   Any bottle from BILLINGS MONTANA is a rare bottle as back when this bottle was in circulation, Billings was just a small one-horse town with stock yards by the old rail road tracks, at the end of the line for cattle drives, where Montana cowboys from miles around drove their stock for shipping out to eastern markets for slaughter.   The stock yards were nasty places for sickness and disease among stock, so no wonder the little drug store there in Billings, Chapple's, offered a veterinary remedy just to meet this need.  Although this bottle's label specifically reads, "
For Healing Barb Wire Cuts
... " it also goes on to say, and I quote, for "
Healing ... Sprains, Swellings and all Flesh Wounds, Bruises and Sores
."  So it was a multi-purpose veterinary remedy that provided a 'RAPID CURE', as it claimed on the box and label.  Like so many of these old medicine bottles, it would be considered a patent medicine, actually a quack remedy since it claimed a 'rapid cure'.  This bottle alone, a larger half pint sized embossed apothecary bottle from Billings Montana, is quite rare in itself.   Even with a basic cough syrup any label on it, the value would be enhanced.  But the fact that it is a BARB WIRE REMEDY, which provides glimpses into the past of the old wild west, this makes it the ultimate old west patent medicine bottle
