KIWI MEDICINE MEASURES...

Whitall Tatum Company also had a branch office in Auckland, New Zealand. The following list of known embossed Kiwi examples was compiled by NZ collectors Jill & Alan Griffiths. My many thanks to them for providing this information. As they collect any/all New Zealand dose glasses, their interest also includes acid etched and ceramic painted examples (contact them for complete list including the non-embossed glasses). They would appreciate any further information regarding these or other Kiwi advertising medicine measures (as they have not yet collected an example of all of these glasses). The Griffiths can be contacted at ajay.griffiths@xtra.co.nz
