Some have quilted or diamond patterns and instructions. Yours is the only one I've seen that had just block lettering on it. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 5

If anyone can give me some information, I'd appreciate. I also found amber clorox bottles with the plugs, and other jars ink jars with brushes in them. thank you Sandie (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 9

RE: citrate of magnesia - 12/2/2005 9:24:26 PM    ronvae Posts: 253 Joined: 8/14/2004 Status: offline Hi Sandie, Welcome! I've never found a Clorox bottle, but from the chatter on this forum, I understand they are common. But I still think they look neat in the pictures. You will always get the best feedback if you can post a picture--don't need a digital camera, you can have film developed to a CD & upload that to the web from your computer. At any rate, is there any kind of maker's mark on the bottom of your citrate of magnesia? (in reply to sandie0548) Post #: 10

On the bottom of the magnesia bottle it says NOT TO BE REFILLED IN THE CENTER OF THE BOTTOM IT SAYS REGISTERED sandie (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 11

RE: citrate of magnesia - 12/9/2005 7:59:07 AM    youngpup Posts: 108 Joined: 12/9/2005 From: Pennsylvania Status: offline Sandie, Your clorox bottle was made from 1929-1939. Beginning in 1940 The Clorox Company began making Clorox bottles with threaded necks for screw tops, replacing the rubber stopper cork tops from the older bottles. If I could see a pic, I could narrow the year down somewhat for you. (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 13

RE: citrate of magnesia - 1/4/2006 8:57:32 PM    capsoda Posts: 7510 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Hey Tony, I have never sold a citrate of magnesia bottle for less than $10 even though they list for less. The mesh design like yours I always sell for $15-$20 depending on if it is the one with all the instructions. There is a large variety of citrate bottles and they make a neat collection all on there own. There are also high end citrate of magnesia bottles. Cobalt, amber, green and a few pontiled. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 16
