milk glass Seed Filter Company "bottle" - 1/29/2012 9:19:44 PM    druggistnut Posts: 1148 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline OK, it's not really a bottle, but it fit in this forum. Here is the link to the auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130639093316 If anyone can tell me what this was used for, or any more about the company, I would appreciate it. I found it interesting that the Hero Fruit Jar Company bought the business. Was that because of the milk glass or was it used in food straining?

It reminds me of my Bird Feeder / Waterer piece I shared awhile back. Not truly a bottle but just like one. I would go for it and then research it and find out how it was used. I found great informtion on Google Patents and even I could use it, very user friendly. Please let us all know how this turns out, VERY interesting piece. _____________________________ Jim Sinsley from northern Idaho. 45 year bottle collector Always buying WAW-WAW bottles and advertising, Santa Ana, California and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho bottles, bottles 2 1/2 " or less tall, Bottles with embossed OWL.

This one is similar in looks, maybe the Pat date can be traced to see what they were used for? Anyhow here are some pics embossed: I C FILTER  PAT.

RE: milk glass Seed Filter Company "bottle" - 1/31/2012 11:18:21 AM    druggistnut Posts: 1148 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline Charlie-- Al's filter sure looks like the one I posted, doesn't it? I can't seem to find it on the patent search, though.  Do you think a vacuum filter would have a screen at both ends? WERE there electric vacuums with suction in the late 1800's? I thought they were all Bissell sweeper type units, with revolving brushes. Something I will look up, today. Jim-- That is actually my auction. It has just been driving me batty, not knowing what the thing was for. Al has motivated me to dig further. Al-- Thanks very much for posting your filter. If mine doesn't sell, I will take you up on your offer and keep them both on a whatizzit shelf. I'll post any updates if I find anything else, fellas.

RE: milk glass Seed Filter Company "bottle" - 1/31/2012 4:34:16 PM    botlguy Posts: 925 Joined: 11/20/2009 Status: online This is really fascinating to me, thanks for all the research you guys are doing. I tried but struggled to get not as far as you folks have. I guess this really can't be classified as a bottle in any form but interesting none the less and at least somewhat related. I really enjoy this oddball stuff, wish I had examples of all these that you have been showing, especially the Milk Glass piece. Now, if we can find the "SEED" connection we'll have it.. I now think the SEED is a compnay name that produced them under the Dec. 1, 03 patent. _____________________________ Jim Sinsley from northern Idaho. 45 year bottle collector Always buying WAW-WAW bottles and advertising, Santa Ana, California and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho bottles, bottles 2 1/2 " or less tall, Bottles with embossed OWL.

RE: milk glass Seed Filter Company "bottle" - 1/31/2012 5:34:15 PM    druggistnut Posts: 1148 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Otisville, Michigan Status: offline Eureka! We're getting somewhere. George Johnson was one of the two fellas (read lawsuit particulars) who took over the business from the Hero Fruit Jar Company. He was ordered by the NY Supreme Court to compensate Joseph Seed for his expertise and guidance. It would appear that he pulled a fast one with that patent. It allowed them to to push Seed out of his position but it really didn't change anything on the device. I wonder if the fella who posted that filter back in 2006 still has it. Are you able to tell if he is still a member or posts, Eric? I would like myself, or someone, to have all three filters in a display. Thanks, you guys. A water filtering device that attaches to a building wall spigot. Makes sense. I can't imagine the crud that was coming out of rivers in to the taps. It was the same water sewage and trash was being dumped in to. Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc... Any paper from Mich drugstores, pre 1900.

That could be a fourth piece of the display, if we can get all four together.... I do believe it is a water filter, as well.
