blue bottle - 11/7/2004 11:26:04 AM    snafa   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/7/2004 Status: offline My daughter found this blue bottle under or new house. The house was built in 1892, she is super excited about it and wanted to find out some info. It is blue or cobalt blue I'm not sure about 5 inches tall with a M on the bottom. It also has a cork with maybe a wick in it. Any info would help. Thanks _____________________________ snafa Post #: 1

Maryland Glass was built for Emerson Drug Co. of Baltimore as a wholly owned subsidiary.

You aren't from Australia by any chance are you ? if so that bottle will be made by the Melbourne glass bottle works, that M is the exact mark they used from 1900 til the mid 1910's. It may still be MGBC made anyhow, they exported stuff to New Zealand and probably a few other countrys. (in reply to snafa) Post #: 5
