Description: A Fantastic Vintage 1950's UPJOHN UNICAP VITAMIN BOTTLES (Assorted Sizes) 21 Spice Bottles & Rack-w/Labels. This wonderful Upjohns Vitamin Set was my late mothers. Mama started it in the early 1950s, putting the terrible tasting Unicaps down my sister's and myself. There are four different sizes: (4) hard to find Tall-round ones measuring, 4-1/4" high by 1-7/8" diameter. (9) Tall-square ones, measuring 4" by 1-7/8". (7) Short-ones measuring 3-1/2" by 1-7/8". (1) ALSO A SCARCE Miniture-one, measuring 1-1/2" by 7/8". The glass on every (21) is in excellent condition..there are NO scratches, cracks or chips! The dimpled hard nylon tops are in very good condition also, with only time and spices lightly yellowing some. They could be soaked in vinegar and whitened further. Every bottle was carefully cleaned by myself, including removing the spices mama had in many of them, and putting the 60+years spices back where mama had them. Interestingly each bottle has it's own character, NO two are identical. There dimensions are equal to each, but the internal molding of the glass makes NO two alike. As memory best serves an old man, mom got the spice rack and labels from a promotion Upjohns had available to the 50's VITAMIN MOMS. About half the bottles are embossed on the bottoms with Upjohns, the other's have various numbers. All though are most definitely Unicap bottles. The Spice Rack is in also beautiful condition for a 60+ year vintage. The rack measures 16-1/4" high, by 14-3/4" wide, and a depth of 3-1/4". It is of solid hardwood, by the grain possibly Black Walnut. The label's are in pretty nice condition considering there age, they are of a heavy foil..and I made certain all are well adhered to there bottles. My photos are accurate of condition of all. I would be more than happy to provide more if anyone is interested, I used the 12 eBay allows per listing the best I could. This set would be a wonderful addition to any lady's (or man's) kitchen, also a excellent addition to a collector of these Upjohns bottles. They are a very good selections of the era Vitamin/Spice creatures. For a pretty complete package I believe my price is fair, and reflects there condtion, sizes, one ship for many, safe proper packaging, and insurance. I'd be happy to provide any additional information I possibly could, if requested. Shipped USPS Priority Mail with Optional USPS Parcel Select Ground for a shipping savings. Thank you for reading a old guys..oh so long description, Bruce
