RE: Horlick's Malted Milk Bottle - 6/1/2008 4:12:43 PM    L C   Posts: 3441 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online The bottle is authentic, and comes in other shapes and sizes , and some have really nice color to them . They used to be quite popular in my area some time back, especially the larger jars. Wish I still had one of the larger jars as well as the other different sizes with color to show you, but I got rid of all of mine some time back . Went and did a quick search and found a picture of one of the gallon size jars for you. I would say if you did a search on Google for Horlicks , you could probably come up with some info pertaining to the history of this company. I think there is also a Horlicks jar from England as well if I remember right. Hope this helps. Attachment (1) < Message edited by L C -- 6/1/2008 4:28:09 PM > (in reply to 335crr) Post #: 2

England is where it is from and you can order it on the internet and it is pretty good. Kind of strange drinking something after you have dug a few old bottles form the same brand. Yours is worth about 20 bucks but it you can find a lid it will bring the value up to about 50 bucks. You can do a forum search and find alot of info on them and you can order you some and try it out. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to L C) Post #: 3

RE: Horlick's Malted Milk Bottle - 6/7/2008 4:22:36 PM    druggistnut Posts: 1150 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline Hey Greg, You'll find that the tablets bottle only comes in the one size, unless someone has seen one in a larger size, which I'd also like to see. The bottles come in clear, aqua and a light blue. They'll be embossed from difffernt places, as you have seen. Some will have Racine, Wisconsin, some London, England, some with both. The earlier Aqua bottles either have Racine or Slough's Bough, England embossed. I also have one with Montreal embossed, which I think is the toughest one to find. The earlier variants don't have the round company "crest" on them. Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc... Any paper from Mich drugstores, pre 1900.

RE: Horlick's Malted Milk Bottle - 4/26/2012 9:07:38 PM    daisylee123   Posts: 4 Joined: 4/26/2012 Status: offline This is really awesome to find this kind of forum with such great information! Thanks to all. I have a small Horlick's Malted Milk bottle that also says Racine Wis. U.S.A. plus simply Slough England. The bottom of the bottle has what looks like the number 11. It is 4 and 3/4" high. From the good information that I am reading in this forum, it seems like a common bottle. For interests sake, would any of you know the approximate year of this type?
