We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international 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 important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. 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 your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time. There are quite a variety of antique Root Beer extract bottles that come in several different colors and embossings, but all in the same basic square shape and size. These contained a concentrated syrup that, when added to 5 gallons of water, made a large batch of root beer. These weren't just advertised as a beverage but it was claimed that they cured many sicknesses and diseases, and that the roots and herbs that the extract was made from, held great medicinal properties. These have become a category of collecting in themselves. This example with the Hires Root Beer embossing in lower case letters is an early style bottle and this (lower case script) embossing pattern is rarely seen, check it out!
