<p>[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 5007, member: 40"]Barb (Buyingtime) Cure bottles? Are you hard core? The bottle MUST have "Cure" or a derivative, curative, curing, etc. embossed in the glass? One of my first specific collecting fields in antique bottles was "cure" bottles. I liked the idea that it was illegal to use the word cure for any medication after the food and drug act of 1906. That's why you find some bottles in both cure and remedy variants. Kilmer's Swamp Root Kidney and Liver Cure is a great example. Late blown and early machine made Kilmers' are Remedies because they had to change all their molds in 1906. Warners safe cure is another. In this case the later Remedy variants are far more scarce and thus much more valuable than the earlier but far more common Cure variants.</p><p><br /></p><p>T- I was so happy a relieved to see your first tentative returning steps on the old boards and I'm sincerely overjoyed to see you found and joined our good ol' gang over here!</p><p><br /></p><p>You know we're always here, and we always care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
