You might want to check your library for a book on bottles to geta better idea of a pontil mark. Or better yet, check out the links for this site - there's a great deal of good information and pictures out there! Good luck with your hunt _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 2

I passed on it because its not something I'm normally interested in. If you look again at the embossing, I think you'll agree that that's a i not a 1. Read it phonetically and it seems to say "New JOY" - sounds like toilet water or cologne? _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 4

No - I don't think I've seen it locally sold, but being here (Maine) perhaps the ones I've seen were smuggled across the nearby border. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 7

Interesting to know they are a laxative, I always thought they where an aftershave (would not go well under the armpits ). (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 8

I thought it may have been a cosmetic bottle, also. Didn't look old enough to keep, though. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 9

RE: help ID, NUjO1 - 6/2/2005 11:26:20 AM    justrovin   Posts: 1 Joined: 6/2/2005 Status: offline I just dug up one of these bottles myself with a backhoe, and searched the net to see what I found. It is a bit larger though, measuring 14cm tall, and 10.97 wide, but looks just like the posted picture! Great site! I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I believe there was an old dump on the property, I'm running some underground drainage. Cya! (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 12

"Nujol" was mineral oil it was produced by Standard Oil Co. Got this info between Digger O'dell and Google searches. Dates from 1920"s on. Some one sent in a picture of the same bottle in 2004 to Digger O'dell. Hope this helps. Cliff (in reply to pkokich) Post #: 13
