RE: blue bottle - 6/24/2010 2:31:34 PM    Poison_Us   Posts: 2795 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline It could be a late poison. I will look into it as see what I can find. The M on the bottom is makers mark: M in a circle.........Maryland Glass Corporation, Baltimore, MD (1907-c.1970s). Mark first used in 1921, according to trademark info reported in Peterson's 400 Trademarks on Glass (1968). This company specialized in cobalt blue glass bottles and jars. Many of the containers made for Phillips Milk of Magnesia, Bromo-Seltzer, Vicks, Noxema, etc, were produced here. Maryland also produced the most commonly seen type of "violin bottle" in various shades of blue (and probably other colors). Maryland Glass was acquired by the Dorsey Corporation in 1968, and I believe that the "M" mark was discontinued sometime in the early 1970s. Anyone with info, please contact me on how late this mark was used. Note: The "M in a circle" mark has also been used more recently by the Mosser Glass Company (Cambridge, OH, 1971-to date), but in those cases it is usually found on tableware, novelties, toothpick holders, etc. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 6/24/2010 2:32:59 PM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Its a KR-42 by McKesson & Robbins Co.  They come in many different shapes, sizes and colors, but all come with this basic rib style embossing.  They are very common.  This is a later one as it's a screw top.  Worth $5-$10. < Message edited by Poison_Us -- 6/24/2010 2:37:33 PM > _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
