I have seen both corkers and screw-tops in 30s dumps. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Worldcupkeeper) Post #: 2

RE: Listerine - 5/6/2007 12:54:44 AM    capsoda Posts: 8082 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline They used the screw top Listerine bottles with Bakelite from the mid 1930s untill the mid 50s and plastic lids until the 1980s. They were slow in changing to plastic bottles. Used to get the small one shots in our kits in the military. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to madman) Post #: 10

I never did hear if there was an outcome on that deal or not. http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/index.htm (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 11

RE: Listerine - 5/6/2007 4:17:20 PM    capsoda Posts: 8082 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Yep there was Louis. The bottle had to have its origanal lable and cap or stopper. A older lady in Tenn had one with label, cork (still sealed), contents and box. They took her pic with some muckity mucks from the company and she donated the bottle to them. I am not shure where it is on display though. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 13

Ever see bakelite after it's been in the ground 60 years? Put 'em back in the ground. i disagree i dig those ALL the time dating from around the 40s or 50s with their bakelite lids that still look new after all those years they all look just like that so i would put them in that era and if i liked them then i wouldnt put them back the 60s and 70s listerine bottles say listerine on BOTH sides of the bottle and not just the front _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 14
