RE: magnesia bottle - 2/6/2005 12:11:51 AM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline This bottle actually dates back to the 1930s. Joe, you probably remember taking the newer ones that were also made of cobalt glass but they most likely had a paper label and not words embossed in the glass. ~~Tom (in reply to preditor) Post #: 4

RE: magnesia bottle - 2/11/2005 1:28:37 AM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline There are many different styles out there and lots have local druggist names on them form different towns. I have also seen a couple in emerald green! They are worth a few pennies but have never had the chance to dig one. ~~Tom (in reply to preditor) Post #: 13

RE: magnesia bottle - 2/11/2005 2:35:22 AM    oldshoe4u   Posts: 211 Joined: 2/3/2005 From: Cental NY Status: offline We dig citrates that have a diamond pattern embossed all the way around with Citrate of magnesia embossed in the center panel, (kind of like the neehi and orange crush bottles) they are a bear to clean.. If anyone wants let me know and ill save some this summer (really common in this dump) and you can have for ship cost....Of course youll have to clean em yerselves... _____________________________ BOB An old shoe in yer hole is good luck (unless theres a foot still in it..)

RE: magnesia bottle - 2/11/2005 11:38:09 AM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Here’s a pic of my oldest citrate of magnesia bottle. It’s blown in mold and has a real blob top on it, not a fake one like you usually see with the seams running up to the top. I would also like to say that we all started talking about the blue Philips Milk of Magnesia bottle in first picture but now are talking about Citrate of Magnesia. They are two completely different companies although they both made the same product. ~~Tom Attachment (1) (in reply to preditor) Post #: 15
