tipz Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I was having a browse on ebay and stumbled across this antique collection of pharmaceutical equipment and medicines up for sale. Amazing collection ! Most of the drugs still seem to be present in the bottles and jars. How can this be legal Can you imagine the various treasures that would be hidden amongst those bottles ? ebay link :drool2: :drool2: And its ONLY $ 155,000 ( check out the video on the ebay page for a visual run-down ) edit ( here is a link to the pictures which are even better )photos Edited October 19, 2011 by tipz 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Posted October 20, 2011 Incredible. That's worth WAY more than $155K. It's the sort of collection that really should be kept together and aquired by a real museum. Would be a shame to see it all stuffed in someones shed, or parted out to Irish pub's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heretic Posted October 20, 2011 Impressive indeed. Thanks Tipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted October 20, 2011 Wow, that's an incredible collection. That really does belong in a museum, kept the way it is now and not pillaged for what's in the bottles. Incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) ^^^ Maybe just a teensy pillage first?? Chloroform, phenobarb, morphine, oh my! Edited October 20, 2011 by FancyPants 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FancyPants Posted October 23, 2011 Much would be oxidised by now surely though wouldn't they anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alkatrope Posted October 27, 2011 Depends if the oxygen was displaced with an inert gas upon packing and how well sealed they are.. And the reactivity of the particular molecule.. And what temperatures they've been kept at.. And if they've been exposed to sunlight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obtuse Posted October 27, 2011 Damn!!! what an amazing collection. its great to see a collection like that all together, but i would imagine in time it will probably get broken up. for it to retain its value it would have to be purchased by the right person, or as mentioned i think in another post a museum, etc. who has the money and time to look after it. Thanks for posting the link. I hope the right owner comes forward to purchase it. Cheers, Obtuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tipz Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Im thinking of taking out a loan All jokes aside though, i think it would actually be a good investment. I agree with Alice that it is worth way more than asking price. I want to have it setup out the back in a custom made shed. Anyone want to go halves ?

Μορφέας Posted October 28, 2011 Incredible. An investment in history. The only bottle that would end up going missing if I got my hands on that would be the Laundamun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
