"McKesson & Robbins" type glass - 12/28/2011 6:11:36 PM    beendiggin Posts: 3001 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline I picked this up and was wondering what the heck it went to. The base has a notched area with screw threads that interlock it onto something, but all I can think of is a dispenser or something like that. I realized it appears to be a Mckesson style, so I'm posting some pics and asking for help to id it. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Paul Post #: 1

There are lots of small bubbles and the glass is unevenly distributed. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Paul (in reply to beendiggin) Post #: 4

RE: "McKesson & Robbins" type glass - 12/28/2011 6:25:06 PM    beendiggin Posts: 3001 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline It's 3" tall and 2-1/4" across the top. The base is 1-3/4" at the widest point. The Kuhn book lists the McKesson & Robbins bottles as the KR-42 group. There is a very similar "jar" in that group but it has screw threads at the top and doesn't appear to have any notch at the base. Thanks for any input. Also, my glass color is nice, it's a blend of golden ambers. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Paul (in reply to beendiggin) Post #: 6

Status: offline Interesting.  Dont think I would put it in that category for only 1 reason.  There is no way of sealing the top.  The one jar example in the book has a threaded top.  This is a curiosity though.  Perhaps a drinking glass (or very large shot) that locked into a rack.  Something mobile....like a James Bond portable Bar set... _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
