RE: Chero-Cola Bottling Plant Discards Dump Uncovered - 6/4/2007 12:36:22 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline The amber bottle was in about three feet of sand beneath an old bridge board.  It's bimal and appears in mint condition with the cork still attached.  Don't know what came in these bottles.  I'm guessing some type of hair product?

They were based in Boston, and made a wide range of products. Your bottle does appear to be for a hair product. They also made medicines and a cool triangular cobalt poison. I think UD Co. was bought out by Rexall in the 1940s. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to logueb) Post #: 43
