This listing is for 15 very old bottles or tins that held a variety of powders and liquids used by a dentist or were used in the cleaning, polishing or caring for the teeth or mouth. Some of these containers still have some of their contents or residue. These are being sold only as vintage collectables, not for use. There is a nice variety of bottles, some with nice raised glass lettering, some with nice glass stoppers and some with vintage paper labels. Most items in this lot are in good vintage condition.
