Packer's Shampoo bottle info needed - 6/10/2007 9:17:32 PM    a23fraser   Posts: 14 Joined: 6/10/2007 Status: offline I pulled a mint condition glass bottle from the Farmington river in Tariffville, Ct today but I am a newbie to bottle collecting and need some help dating/appraising this piece. It is clear, 6 inches tall, 4 indented squares on each side and a small "liquid dispenser" opening at the mouth. It is embossed on the base "Packer's Shampoo" a sideways "44" on the right and a sideways "1" or "l" on the left of the "packers shampoo". I found that it was a pine tar shampoo but no dates have come up or info on the glass bottles? _____________________________ ~One person's trash is a collector's treasure!~ Post #: 1

That's where I stopped.  One soap box also had Mystic Conn. I'd need a little more info on the bottle. The 44 may be a date code. Is the bottle screw top? Machine made (mold seams all the way to the top)? _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

I think I found a new hobby!! Yes it looks to be machine made, the seam runs all the way through the top. And it does appear to have a screw top. _____________________________ ~One person's trash is a collector's treasure!~ (in reply to a23fraser) Post #: 3

Not sure how rare, but I's say not much value due to the fact it's just a plain-jane cosmetic. $2-$3. Lobey. (in reply to a23fraser) Post #: 11

They are from the 30s and carried over to the early 40s. I have dug several with label remnants and many more with out anything on them. They can be found in aqua with a cork stopper from the 20s too.
