DURKEE BOTTLE - 8/27/2010 9:53:20 PM    gobottlewoman   Posts: 3 Joined: 8/27/2010 Status: offline HI, MY HUSBAND AND I LIKE TO GO TO YARD SALES, GARAGE SALES, FLEA MARKETS AND THRIFT STORES. TODAY WE FOUND A LIGHT LAVANDER BOTTLE EMBOSSED WITH E.R. DURKEE AND CO DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BOTTLE AND CHALLANCE EMBOSSED BELOW THE NECK ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE BOTTLE. THERE IS A SEAM ALONG THE SIDE BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO GO THROUGH THE TOP AS IT CURVES TO THE SIDE BEFORE REACHING THE TOP. ALSO SEEMS TO BE DOUBLE COLLAR. CAN ANYONE TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BOTTLE? MAYBE YEAR OR AGE AND WHAT IS CHALLANCE? THANKS FOR ANY HELP GOBOTTLEWOMAN Post #: 1

I don't think it is valuable, but it is a good example of a patent bottle that sold in millions by the turn of the 20th century.. (in reply to gobottlewoman) Post #: 2

SEEMS TO HAVE A CROWN TOP WITH DOUBLE COLLAR AS IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ADDED ON LATER. THANKS FOR THE HELP GOBOTTLEWOMAN (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 3
