Labeled Glen Ridge Medicine - 10/6/2011 5:35:37 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4296 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline I won this off eBay last month, and it only got here yesterday... Anyway, it was worth the wait! It's my first screw topped local addition, but I can excuse that, because this one has 100% label and contents! There's already a (junky) labeled one in the possession of the GR historical society, so I knew it existed. Still, mine has an absolutely perfect label. I figure it's 1939, because of the writing on the label. The Anchor Hocking mark on the base tells me it's post 1937. Anyway, I had done a bit of research about the company, and came up with this 1906 ad. I figure they were probably in business even before this. Maybe there is a blown one from there? I'm sure of it. It probably won't have "Glen Ridge" embossed anywhere on it, mine doesn't. It does have embossing, like "T. HILL MANSFIELD". I think Capillaris was sort of like Vaseline, based on the label. Anyone want me to open it and see if it works?

There isn't even a little bit of damage to it.

I don't think they're as obvious as Owens bottles.

Mine is blown in mold and embossed around the shoulder, T. MANSFIELD HILL'S CAPILLARIS NEW YORK. You might not want this one because of New York. Let me know if you do.

Let me know if you do. Robert Yeah, I wouldn't really want it, but I would appreciate a picture, just to see. I'll probably dig one eventually. Thomas Hill Mansfield was living in Glen Ridge in 1906, so I think if the blown bottle isn't embossed Glen Ridge, none will be. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
