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 SUPER old bottle, this bottle has a hinge mold seam running diagonally right across the base with a crude jagged open pontil punched right into the center of it.  For the most part, glass blowers in Pioneer America were all through using pontil rods by 1860.  There are exceptions but for the most part, if a bottle has an open pontil, you can date it from before 1860.   Then there is the KATHAIRON embossing on this bottle?!   You can see the word 'HAIR' in this name and since it was For The Hair, no doubt it was a play on words.   After all, the mid - late 1800's was known as the Progressive Era in this country and all kinds of new concoctions and contraptions were being stirred up and Kathairon was one of them.   This is a nice early bottle with a big applied top sitting on a long slendar neck
