RE: Ingrams Milk Weed Cream - 12/10/2004 8:44:19 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Hi Angie I dug up the same bottle a couple of months ago here in Maine. It came out of a 1920s era dump site. What I like about the bottle is the faint swirls in the glass that almost gives it a marble-ized appearance. Mine has a patent # on the base - 481953, I believe there's a list somewhere around my house that reveals the approximate age of an item based upon it's patent #. I'll post it when I can find it, I've started packing things away due to an up-coming move _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to ksdigger) Post #: 9

Thanks for the clearer pictures as well... I have a great proffessional camera, but keep sending my husband off with the film... he forgets to put them on disk for me. (and I hate digital cameras... bad experience.. dont ask) Mine only has one thread on the lip. It looks alot smaller. The patent number on this one is 481953 Angie (in reply to ksdigger) Post #: 10

RE: Ingrams Milk Weed Cream - 12/11/2004 2:01:24 AM    BRichardson5   Posts: 378 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline A good resource for finding dates of patents is Digger O'Dell's list at http://bottlebooks.com/patentdater.htm . It dates the milk weed cream bottle as being patented between 1892-1893. Of course, the actual bottle may be as recent as the 1920's or so. I have a few myself. Gotta love that milk glass! < Message edited by BRichardson5 -- 12/11/2004 2:04:19 AM > (in reply to ksdigger) Post #: 11

RE: Ingrams Milk Weed Cream - 4/12/2007 1:44:11 PM    conde   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/12/2007 Status: offline I found one of these Ingram's Milk Weed bottles in Detroit.  It has a patent number of 481953 on the base.  I looked up this number on a U.S. patent website and it indicated that Frederick Ingram patented this bottle on Sept. 6, 1892.
