Old Listerine shot bottle - 12/5/2011 9:42:22 PM    Greg H   Posts: 24 Joined: 12/4/2011 Status: offline Here is a Listerine bottle I found, looks like it would hold about 2 ounces, the cork top is missing but seems to be in good shape.It says Listerine on top and Lamber pharmacal company lower on the side, has a triangle on the bottom. I thought that it could be a rare find? Attachment (1) _____________________________ Thanks Greg H. Post #: 1

That's one of the most common bottles you can dig... Still cool though, homeowners like 'em because Listerine is still used. _____________________________ 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!

Dug one like the one pictured in my 1890's dump, and a large sized one in an 1880's-1890's layer of a privy. Common nonetheless. _____________________________ 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!

RE: Old Listerine shot bottle - 12/7/2011 7:39:23 PM    Jim Posts: 3630 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline You're correct, Wheel, they do go earlier. I was thinking of the hundreds of ABM cork ones that I used to dig in dumps when I was younger. They must have switched to the screw caps sometime in the 30s, as I remember finding both types together in 30s dumps. The screw cap embossed ones were around into the 1980s in glass (I remember them). At least there will still be a few things for diggers to look for a hundred years from now  ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 10
