RE: Old Rawleigh Bottle - 5/7/2008 7:54:08 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 1408 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline It probably wouldn't help to figure what was in it, but the base can sometimes tell you all sorts of info about who made the bottle and when.   In 1889, William Thomas Rawleigh began selling a small line of "Good Health Products" by horse and a mortgaged buggy.  These guys are still around today.  They made all sorts of household products, I think my favorites are the extract bottles, though common, they come in many sizes and colors.  More than likely yours was also an extract bottle, what flavor, etc. would have been on a paper lable. < Message edited by cobaltbot -- 5/7/2008 7:55:10 AM > _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....
