Shipping
: FREE domestic shipping.   We do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international 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 important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  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 your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
This is the small 1 ounce size, the 2nd smallest size of this style of bottle.
It is an unusual light smoky/burnt topaz amber colored Owl Drug Co. bottle.  It is not really amber, more a burnt amber or topaz color.
The burnt AMBER color is what happens when post - 1915 glass bottles are subjected to intense sunlight or artificial UV exposure that is sometimes used to turn old bottles deep purple.   This batch of glass contained Selenium Sulfate that was used as a de-colorizing agent and when subjected to sunlight, it turns a straw- yellow color.   When it is exposed to intense ultra violet rays, it speeds the process up and, instead of the glass being straw yellow color, it is a much deeper burnt yellow amber color, as you see.   Some say it's a good thing, others say it's bad.
Some like it, others do not.
If it is exposed to sunlight again for an extended period of time, the color starts to fade away.
But it definitely adds a nice color variation to the bottle and also
TOTALLY ACCENTUATES the little Owl embossed on this bottle and makes every feather stand out
