Without a doubt the rarest of the Tippers bottles.This is one of only six known.Tippers made animal medicines.So this might have been a vetinary,s bottle. The reg no dates it at 1904. |
 |
Tippers Animal Medicines,same applied lip as above and dates to the first of the tippers bottles ie 1904.This one slightly taller than the above at about 8inches or so. |
 |
This bottle is the same form as above but post dates the others by about 16 years(a.b.m).This one not as collectable as the applied lip versions but still hard to find. |
 |
This bottle designed by G.W.Walker and H.J.W Martin.Registered 1899.3in long. |
 |
I think these irregular hexagonal poisons
are fairly easy to find, apart from the colour and size( 1 1/2oz
3oz 6 0z). all are identical except the green which has Rd No 334871 embossed on the back.This registration number may refer to a design taken out by Lewis&Towers in 1899. Looking at my How old page,the date certainly holds out. |
 |
Not too hard to find but getting scarcer,has hobnails on two panels at the front with a curved back to take a label.About 1900. |
 |
Admiralty poison.Issued to ships doctors I believe.This one is in the 1oz size,but they go up to 16oz or so.Scarceish. |
 |
Patented by A.W.Martin in 1902. The bend in the neck is to stop any spillage even if the cork was left out. It has a curved ribbed base so has to be stored on its side.Rare |
 |
| As above only the 8oz size.The Martins available in 1-16oz in ice blue to aqua.There is a green version known which is about the most desirable of all the Martins.There have been rumours of a giant aqua 20oz being found recently too. |
 |
Maorix scarce,has unusual diamond shape
when viewing the base,front embossed "MAORIX with "not to be taken" down both the thin side panels,base embossed "Regd". |
 |
Quines patent poison in ice blue, Rare. |
 |
Chemists oval |
 |
As above only larger(nearly 8in) |
| Rectangular(flatback)version of the above,size is 12oz,not at all hard to find.Probably dates to around about 1900. |
 |
| Poisonous not to be taken,warning bumps on edges and centre of sides only.Ground lip and a reg No on the back which dates to 1910.scarcish. |
 |
 |
Light almost cornflower blue f4oz flat is very crude and probably earlier than the two above. |
 |
Wilsons Bone Setter,5 Inches tall. I have seen references to Bonesetters in relation to the Medical trade they practised homeopathic techniques and were the forerunners of the modern chiroprators.A nice bottle and scarce,could be considered rare. |
 |
Tiny 1 1/4 inch high,hexagonal ribbed on three sides. |
 |
3 Green poisons all embossed not to be taken.Not hard to find at all.C1900. |
 |
Large cylindrical poison(or possibly master ink or even Ammonia).Two piece mould applied lip.In all about 9 inches tall. |

1oz size.Herringbone warning ribs to front with pimples to edges.Embossed
