A 4" tall original light TURQUOISE AQUA/MARINE colored rectangular shaped antique 3 in 1 Oil Co. DRY FLY oil bottle.  This is a very early hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating it over 100 YEARS OLD.  Along with the pictures of the bottle, we have enclosed a picture of an advertisement that we found in a 1906 Outdoor Life Magazine. The ad is NOT included in this sale, it is just used to show that 3 in 1 Oil truly was used as an oil for DRY FLIES, to keep them afloat 'without the hackles and wings sticking together' and that this truly IS a DRY FLY OIL bottle. Again, the ad is NOT for sale and is NOT part of this sale.

• Bottle embossed:   "THREE IN ONE OIL CO. - "THREE IN ONE"".

• Condition:   An early and crudely made little bottle that has areas of haze / stain, otherwise good.  Even the embossing was crudely carved into the mold (see pictures) NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. 
  

• Age:  An early hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. late 1800's.

• Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do NOT insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. 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 send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If our 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 especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.

Here's a little history of the product that this bottle held:   3-IN-ONE-OIL was invented and first sold in 1894 in Asbury Park, New Jersey by George W. Cole. He advertised his invention's ability to clean, lubricate and protect.  Old G. W. incorporated his company in 1899 and the firm became the 3-IN-ONE-Oil Company.   As the ad states, the bottles came in 3 different sizes and also a small 'free sample' size.  This bottle is the SMALLEST of the 3 bottles except for the sample, which is smaller.  How unique to find a bottle that, 100 + years ago, held ... Dry Fly Oil, check it out!
