<p>[QUOTE="Joey from Da Bronx, post: 2516919, member: 74701"]Right you are, coinquest. 'Silv-A-Date' was in a clear round plastic bottle, about 3" high, with a screw-on cap. I have my bottle of 'Nic-A-Date' from the '60s right here in front of me (yeah, I can't throw anything out!). It's in a flat oval plastic bottle, also about 3" high, with a push-on cap. The warning on it says it contains ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid, and can be harmful if swallowed! It still has about 1/2" of liquid in it. The price on it is $1.00, and was made by the Nic-A-Lene Company in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA.</p><p> I remember having to throw out my 'Silv-A-Date' because the bottle split right below the cap. Geez, what would that go for on eBay today?</p><p> I will try to post a pix of an acided SLQ when I have access to them.</p><p> Oh, and I believe I got the 'Silv-A-Date' through an ad in COINage magazine. For some reason the dealer Danny Crabb comes to mind. I'll have to check my old issues.</p><p> Just checked my coin spendature book that I started in 1966 and still use.
