Bottle identification - 10/19/2003 11:29:50 PM    randyf   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/19/2003 Status: offline I have a clear bottle, side seams, 6 1/2"t., 2 1/4 w., 1 3/4 thick with a 1/2" neck Mouth is 1"w., hole is 1/2". Back has raised graduation marks number 1-7, the word "ounces" on left side. Front has 2 raised cats and a small square with an "x" in it. The bottom ha a stylized M or H over "A", then K 2-4. The mouth appears to have been corked. Any ideas what I've got? Post #: 1

RE: Bottle identification - 10/22/2003 12:41:11 PM    Guest Hello, and welcome to the forum. Can you post a picture of your bottle? It can be very difficult to identify a bottle from a description alone unless there is a known name embossed on it. The embossed cats don't ring a bell with me. It may be a veterinary product, or the cats could just be a trade mark. (in reply to randyf)   Post #: 2

RE: Bottle identification - 10/22/2003 8:27:34 PM    Guest it could be a nursing bottle . they are usually 6-7 oz. and often are seen embossed with small amimals such as ducks, rabbits ect.. it sounds interesting ,but a picture would get to the point. diggerjeff (in reply to randyf)   Post #: 3

Graduating measurements are found on nursing bottles and medicine bottles. It could be a nursing bottle or baby doll nursing bottle. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to randyf) Post #: 5
