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 very nice looking tiny, amber, hexagonal bottle that is listed as a POISON bottle. Evidently this bottle was used for multiple medicines, pills, as we have seen them with different labels on them for different things. I believe the
ornate hexagon 6 sided design
was so that a person looking at it or picking it up would be alerted that it held a possibly toxic substance so it would not be confused for something else. Today, this translates to a uniquely shaped, very attractive and highly collectable antique bottle,
