Being from Australia,two of these bottles caught my eye as I read your post. The first one, in light blue, I think is actually Vapo - Cresolene, a preparation that I think was made by a company allied to Vicks, but I could be wrong. I have a small faceted clear glass bottle with "Vapo - Cresolene" embossed on it. The second, Chamberlain's, sounds very much like the company that existed in Sydney a long time ago, and had a number of products. Other Aussie members my be able to help - IRISH for instance. Cheers! _____________________________ Today is the day I will find those goodies just waiting to be found ..... Lots of luck digging! Tandy, Netherby, Adelaide. South Australia.

Vapo-Cresolene went into some kind of burner I've been told, there are a few different ones all common but nice looking bottles, I will post a photo of some tomorrow and you can see if your one is the same.

If your bottle has an O within a square on the bottom it would be Owens Ill 1911 to 1929 Aqua 3 7/8"x 15/16"x 15/16" embosing occurs between vertical rows and dots.

Status: offline Vapo-Creselene contained an opiate and from what I have researched was quite addictive. I guess that would explain why we dig so many. Slimdigger (in reply to Ashley) Post #: 6
