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

A pretty exclusive bottle with the
'GOLD DANDRUFF CURE'
embossing.    Just the fact that it says "CURE" on it, puts it into the CURE COLLECTING category, a category of collecting in itself.   In  looking this bottle up in the number one reference book on antique hair preparation bottles, we find no other information on it from the author except that he had seen one at a bottle show many years ago.   So this is a good indicator of the rarity of the bottle.   A nice looking bottle with the long, tall neck and the beautiful deep
purple amethyst color.   The beautiful purple amethyst color of this bottle 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 naturally aqua-colored 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.  With few exceptions, only glass made before 1914 will turn purple.  Not only does this deep purple/amethyst color make this a great looking bottle,
but it also authenticates it as being truly antique!
Colored hair bottles are one of the most beautiful categories of antique bottles to collect as they come in a vast array of shapes and colors.   This purple colored one would complement any string of colored hair bottles, especially when displayed in a well lit room or with sun streaming through it in a window
