domestic shipping.   We DO ship Internationally but 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.
Three of these bottles were found in Missoula, Montana, in a box of old photography equipment, in a shed behind an old dairy.  This one was the most complete and it still holds "
INGENTO PYRO DEVELOPING TABLETS -- FOR PLATES AND FILMS
".   One of the others had no contents but it had an empty amber-colored glass vial inside of it that may of had something to do with the way it was originally purchased.  Another had more info. on the label, establishing that the B&J was the Burke and James Co., out of Chicago and also some language about ... 'WATKINS FACTOR NO. 15', if that makes sense to anyone?
Otherwise this is a bottle that we've never seen before,
a RARE antique photo-supply bottle that is not commonly found especially with much of the paper labels
