Neat Shoe Buckle Frame, Birneys Cocaine Vial
Hi All
Couple hours spent on the mud,
First target from the iron field was the buckle frame, I got enough frames to start a colonial shoe store
but a complete example is still a yet
the full pin terminals likely date it pre 1750.
Also a fragment of another fancy buckle
got a large plain Cloak button, dognose pewter spoon handle,
believe this style was made til 1700 or so.
Nice Bell, ring, mechanical counting bank, broken open as always, I got a bunch of these,
lead keel from toy sailboat, popular sport in Victorian times,
Thanks for looking! HH Everyone! Herbie.
Dr Birneys Catarrhal Powder vial is a cool item, crudely blown, scratch free,
Cocaine cure, sure makes those symptoms disappear, for a minute anyway,
From a 1905 newspaper article:
"READ WHAT
WILLIAM THOMPSON, OF CHICAGO
says of
BIRNEY'S CATARRH CURE
"Three years ago Thompson was a strong man. Now he is without money, Health, home, or friends."
(Chicago "Tribune")
"I began taking Birney's Catarrh Cure (says Thompson) three years ago, and the longing for the drug has grown so potent that I suffer without it.
I followed directions at first, then I increased the quantity until I bought the stuff by the dozen bottles."
A famous drink and drug cure in Illinois had, as a patient, not long ago, a fourteen-year -old boy, who was a slave to the Birney brand of cocaine. He had rum his father $300 in debt, so heavy were his purchases of the poison."
