- Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE 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.
Not the rarest antique Tooth Powder bottle out there but certainly a top example of an antique an antique Tooth Powder bottle. It says, \"TOOTH POWDER\" in LARGE crisp embossing. Note the wide mouth, made with this design so that the user could put a wet tooth brush inside the bottle to absorb some of the white fluffy powder. We used to think that Tooth Powder was the forerunner of tooth paste but as can be seen in our \'see other items\' list, we have other types of antique liquid tooth paste bottles that prove that tooth powder wasn\'t the forerunner of tooth paste, it was an alternative. Like so many of these products, they weren\'t just for cleaning the teeth but they also claimed to cure all diseases of the MOUTH THROAT TEETH, and GUMS and anything else remotely connected to the teeth. An excellent example, check it out!
