Offered are two, darling, miniature ceramic advertising potties, each priced separately. (The potty featuring the dog has been sold.)Both circa 1930s, the two potties each have a big blue "EYE" painted on the inside bottom of the potty and both are labeled in gold script "Go Way Back and Sit Down". Both are stamped on their bases "Made in Germany" and are in excellent condition. (Our apologies for blurry photos of the gold printing on the exterior of each potty. The printing is actually quite crisp and clear. It is the photography that requires improvement!) The smaller "eye" potty also has the words "Goo Goo" written above the eye. The smaller 'eye" potty measures 1.25 inches high and has a diameter of 1.50 inches. The larger "eye" potty measures 1 3/8 inches high and has a diameter of 1.75 inches. Items such as these were frequently used as "free give-aways" by various businesses to spark an increased customer base either when celebrating a grand-opening or to promote the offering of a new service or product. Becoming increasingly difficult to find! As each is priced separately, please email us stating which item you wish to purchase so that we can customize your order form.

Incredible graphics say it all for this highly unique, female medicine bottle, BonKora, dating from the 1930s - 1940s era. The bottle measures nearly 7.5 inches high and is complete with original contents. The condition of the bottle is very nice with only minor staining next to the letters in the word, BONKORA. Although the box is damaged, it displays well as it retains the image of the nude female- an interesting conversation piece! A bit of history: BONKORA was actually advertised as a weight loss treatment in print advertising, although this usage is not stated on the box. With sales in decline in the late 1930s, the BONKORA manufacturer attempted to make their product a bit more interesting by streamlining the original, bulkier silhouette in their advertising and adding a naked lady on the label. While a clever touch, the product’s popularity continued to wan – perhaps due to a combination of the economics of the Great Depression and the increased federal enforcement of earlier-legislated laws prohibiting unsubstantiated wild curative claims for any and all maladies.

This empty, circa 1920's, chemist's, Mercurous Nitrate apothecary bottle sports a highly graphic label. It measures 5.75 inches high and shows evidence of use as well as a few unobtrusive manufacturing flaws. The label is 90% complete, also with some wear from use.
HgNO3: Mercurous Nitrate is the earlier name for mercury nitrate. Mercury (I) nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Hg2(NO3)2. It is used in the preparation of other mercury (I) compounds, and, like all other mercury compounds, it is toxic. Historically, Mercurous Nitrate was used to treat fur to make felt in a process called 'carroting'. Most interestingly, the phrase, 'mad as a hatter', is associated with psychological illness brought on by excessive exposure to mercury (II) nitrate. The use of Mercurous Nitrate in this practice continued in the United States until it was finally banned in December 1941, by The United States Public Health Service.

A wonderful pair of Glover's Veterinary Dog Specific Condition Pill Tins that sport fabulous Art Nouveau graphics! The 2 green colored tins date to the 1910 - 1923 time period and measure about 3.25" long x 2 inches wide. The condition of the first green tin is very good with various surface scratches, areas of unobtrusive paint loss and general wear of a vintage tin. Price: $100.00. The second green tin shows a bit more paint loss especially on the bottom and is a darker shade of green. Price: $80.00. Both covers and hinges work well and both tins are the same size. Made by "METAL ????? CORP. BRKLYN, NY".
Some History: Henry Clay Glover started practicing veterinary medicine sometime prior to 1877. In 1888, his medicines were awarded the medal of superiority by the American Institute of New York. He identified himself as a “Specialist in Canine Diseases". As a personal testimonial, he stated that as of 1897, he had been the Veterinarian to the Westminster Kennel Club for 20 years. The first known address for Dr. Glover is 1293 Broadway, New York City. Tins with this address state “H. Clay Glover,V.S. Prop", and appear to be the earliest-known. Some time prior to 1914, the company moved to 118 West 31st Street. Glover was still sole proprietor, but by 1917 the company was incorporated, and the tins stated “H. Clay Glover Co” while retaining the West 31st Street address. The company moved to 127-129 West 24th Street in 1923.

Macy Department Store, New York City, New York, drug store remedy tin once contained the well-known Seidlitz Powders, U.S.P. used to calm gastro-intestinal upsets! The empty tin measures 4.5 inches wide x 3 inches deep x 1.5 inches high, and with the exception of the surface wear as noted in photos, the tin remains in wonderful condition! Quite visually appealing, the Macy's tin is painted a light blue-toned green. The lift-off cover features an attractive, stylized, scroll, cream-colored R.H. Macy label. The base of the tin retains its original dosage and directional label, and as noted, the product was "APPROVED BY MACY'S BUREAU OF STANDARDS"! The Macy tin is priced at $20.00. The second tin is an empty REXALL Seidlitz tin produced by United Drugs, Boston, Massachusetts. The tin has been protected by shrink wrapping which can be removed if desired. The tin measures 4.50 inches wide, 3.25 inches high, and 1.75 inches deep and is in fine condition with the expected superficial surface abrasions. The Rexall tin is priced at $30.00.
