COLLECTING BARBER BOTTLES by Richard Holiner, Collector Books, KY, 1986. “From around the 1870’s until the turn of the century, many barbers mixed their own tonics and facial splashes. When the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 restricted the use of alcohol-based substances in unlabeled and re-fillable containers, barber bottles were no longer used for their original purpose. The beauty of these bottles is the reason that so many have survived and are in collections today. Barber bottles were made from art glass, milk glass, fancy pressed and cut glass. Enameled and colored bottles were also very popular. This full color book spotlights the beauty of the many varied types and styles of barber bottles and provides the collector with identification information as well as current market value.” The superb photography and comprehensive survey will delight bottle collectors and glass enthusiasts in general and will provide an essential reference work for understanding and evaluating a collection. 8.75“ x 11.25“ hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 127 pages.
