Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 8:42 pm Has anyone seen anything like this? Picked it up in an auction lot of vintage medical tins and supplies. From a bit of limited searching on the bay it appears it may have a bit of collectable value. Your thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 9:03 pm Its interesting. I wonder what is collectible, the bottle or the contents. I can't imagine that the contents are particularly scarce. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 9:56 pm I believe its the bottles, vintage advertising sometimes sells well. Not sure what the remaining silver would be worth in this state. Edited by Joe2007 02/24/2019 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7628 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 12:25 am The bottle, with the label intact, is worth way more than the silver contents. However, it should all be kept together unless silver goes to a jillion dollars an ounce. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 01:12 am The granularized Ag/Hg amalgam inside the bottle supports the claim of the label on the bottle, and are are thus co- dependent. Keep them together - what else is worth storing in the bottle anyway? Report this Post to the Staff

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 05:28 am With the screw top, I'd place a date on the bottle around 1940 - 1980. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
everything Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 7:19 pm Here is what Amalgam is. Dental amalgam is a mixture of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. Small amounts of zinc, indium or palladium may also be present. https://engage.3m.com/Oral-Care-Mar...ding-Amalgam Report this Post to the Staff
