Old "Maltine Mfg. Chemists" Bottle - 6/29/2008 6:40:06 PM    FredT   Posts: 1 Joined: 6/29/2008 Status: offline Hi, My grandfather found a bottle in his front yard that appears to be rather old. It is a brown glass bottle and it says: THE MALTINE MF'C CO. CHEMISTS NEW YORK I attached a picture of it. Does anyone know anything about this bottle? Thanks!

We find them in 1890s and early 1900s-era pits. Maltine was a big company, and the bottles are fairly common. I would check the area further, there may be an old trash pit or privy nearby that is holding some more nice bottles. ~Jim  _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to FredT) Post #: 2
