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 as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates

A RARE find, an antique cobalt blue poison bottle with its original paper label.
Antique poison bottles are quite collectible today as they were most always made in odd shapes or forms, unusual colors, and / or had fancy or extraordinary embossing patterns on them (as in the embossed
vertical bars or 'warning' protrusions' on this one) all things to let a user know, by sight and feel, that the bottle's contents were something not to be consumed.   Also you will notice that the market, antique shops, eBay, etc. are flooded with multiple examples of overseas poison bottles, from all sectors of the earth except North America, as North American poison bottles are scarce in comparison.  The overseas foreign bottles mainly say such things as 'NOT TO BE TAKEN' or 'FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY', wording very similar to this.  So it is refreshing to find here,
this North American poison bottle, fine in form, beautiful in color, and still retains the paper label
, a HARD act to follow and attractive to look at
