I seem to remember them making a repro of the Baker's Specific. Dont quote me on it but it reminds me of the Italian Glover repros. < Message edited by AntiqueMeds -- 1/22/2012 10:15:16 PM > _____________________________ My web site - http://www.AntiqueMedicines.com/ Medicine BLOG : http://antiquemedicines.com/blog/ Email me : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 5

Sir surf,(by the way,I really like your "picture worth 1000 words" approach) I had to sing to the tune of 5 bucks.I'm sure with a sexy wiggle I coulda talked her down to a couple bucks fer each.I thought the embossed figure was a cricket with a hat on> Gunth,are you guys saying that the SMITHS is a repo??It is embossed on the base:C(in a circle) CROWNFORD < Message edited by ajohn -- 1/22/2012 11:34:30 PM > _____________________________ I found the Red Road through the valley of the shadow of death....and along the way,found some really cool bottles (in reply to AntiqueMeds) Post #: 6

RE: Meds(elixir & druggest) - 1/23/2012 4:09:19 PM    surfaceone Posts: 7132 Joined: 12/9/2008 Status: offline Howdy Anthony John, Crownford is not a good sign, I'm sorry to say. "Crownford China Co. Repro (Italian)" Thanks to the late Digger Odell. "The "Crownford China Company" is an old Staffordshire, England company. I do not think they made glass. I suspect an import company is using the name for their reproductions, but I do not know, maybe a reader can help. Digger" I recently bought a pink milk glass powder dish. It has a 'Crownford China, Made in America" label. I realize this is not a bottle but it may give you some insight on whether Crownford China was involved in the glass business. I am curious about this myself because I thought Crownford China (US) only made pottery. I have owned several pottery pieces with their mark "Crownford China, Made in USA") .. Louis Louis, after a bit more research I have found only a few clues. The original English Crownford China Company is not connected with these glass reproduction items. The impostor Crownford China Company is an Italian firm with a New York connection. They do not still seem to be in business. They were responsible for a number of reproduction items including: WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY LIVER CURE bottles which they produced with labels and in fantastic colors; cookie jars such as one jar has raised clear lettering on two sides; one side says IF MOMMY SAYS NO, ASK GRANDMA (HEART SYMBOL HERE)and the other side says "COOKIES 5 POUNDS; Another jar is embossed P.N. SMITH FAMILY GROCER DRY MEASURE 7 lb.; They also made THATCHER milk bottles (MAN MILKING A COW) beginning about 1964 in amber green, dark blue and clear complete with a wire bale and glass lid. I am sure that this list is by no means complete. They must have had help in this country to determine the styles and kinds of items to reproduce. Digger" Thanks Digger.

I think I left it in my other pants though. Hey A. Those are nice bottles. I wonder what there was to contimplate about the whiskey...err...elixor in that bottle. I have a collection of whiskey bottles (somewhere)that are shaped like meds. I always figured that they were to hide the fact you were drinking in church. _____________________________ 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 surfaceone) Post #: 8
