- Shipping: FREE DOMESTIC shipping. We DO ship Internationally but 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.
We
used to think that Tooth Powder was a forerunner of tooth
paste but as can be seen in our 'see other items' list, we have other
types of antique liquid tooth paste bottles that prove that
tooth powder wasn't the forerunner of tooth paste, it was an
alternative. Like so many of these
products, they weren't just for cleaning the teeth but they also claimed
to cure all diseases of the MOUTH THROAT TEETH, and GUMS and anything
else remotely connected to the teeth. An excellent example here, check it out!
* * NOTE: We have a collection of antique DENTAL,
TOOTH, TEETH related bottles and items that we are selling off. Our
father was a dentist and we collected these bottles over many years'
time. Some are quite rare and others are common but top end examples.
Please check our listings as we will work at listing the whole
collection. Feel free to contact us with
questions.
