Status: offline 		It's been a while since I posted, but I finally got some new bottles. First is an "Eno's Fruit Salt" for $2. I got this because I liked the name and the top was interesting, mainly because the seam doesn't extend through and... yeah, that was mainly it.


I also got a round bottom "Ross's Belfast" for $6 in near mint, mainly for the sake of having a round bottom bottle.



Last, I got a near mint Hayes Bros. 24 ounce bottle for $12. It's from Chicago, so I like it.

I think they still make it too. All it was was salt that tasted like fruit.

The fast-acting effervescent fruit salts, used as an antacid and reliever of bloatedness, was invented in the 1850s by James Crossley Eno (1827-1915). It has sales of nearly £30 million, with its major markets being Spain, India, Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia and Thailand. It is frequently used as a substitute for baking powder.
Eno Tagline: "Gets to work in 6 seconds"

naaaaaah... I think I'll keep it. I like having bottles where the companies are still in bussiness, but I've never heard of the before. The contents were supposed to have a citrus flavor, too.

Status: offline 		Hi Brandon, the whole story behind J. C. Eno and his "Fruit Salts" is an interesting one & well worth looking up.  He was quite a philanthropist as well & used his money to do a lot of good.
One of the first bottles I dug was a "J C Eno's Effervescing Fruit Salts" - this was the early version. Thinking they were fairly common, I sold it at my stall. It took me 18 years to find another one !

Status: offline 		Gosh, Brandon ~ that was around 1985 and I think I sold it for about 15 Rands (That would have been about $6 in those days!) I sold a lot of things when I began dealing which I could kick myself for now and at prices which were laughable but ... oh well!

Here are some pictures of the early Eno's bottle and  a suspiciously similar Lamplough's bottle:

Status: offline 		And the Lamplough's bottle ~ this claimed to cure sea-sickness, all sorts of fevers etc and was almost definitely a copy of the Eno's bottle. James Eno's product had quickly become famous and much sought after and as we know "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery !"

Status: offline 		Thanks Plumbata. SAbottles, that's pretty amazing. Those lids must be pretty uncommon. I was wondering how the bottles were closed, too (another reason I bought it, I guess I could say). Altogether, I just though the bottle was weird and interesting in its own sort of way, and would never have thought that so much history could be involved with this weird, 3 letter name. Thanks for sharing.

Status: offline 		Yeah, LtlBtl ~ I think putting Eno's in your tequila would have pretty amazing results ! 
I do remember at school (back in the Dark Ages) someone pouring some Eno's into an inkwell - with pretty spectacular results !

@ Brandon ~ actually the lids are very common, I have a whole boxful; the bottles are harder to get hold of.

@ Thanks Joe.
