Post-prohibition era white milk glass beer(?) bottle - help ID.
This brings up another thought to me. I posted n this forum a purple RRR bottle in my possession. I believe it to have been made at the Brookfield company when they were using up the materials they got from Baltimore Glass Manufacturing Company in 1897 when Brookfield took BGMCo to court for...- Lbrewer42

Post-prohibition era white milk glass beer(?) bottle - help ID.
My original intention was to send this info to an old and good friend of mine, David Whitten (glassbottlemarks.com), and then I got to thinking if I put the info here instead and sent him the link, then everyone could give input on this bottle. I got his reply this morning: " A public and...- Lbrewer42

Post-prohibition era white milk glass beer(?) bottle - help ID.
Thank you for the education. I changed the title to post pro so more people won't have to educate me on this as well :D And thanks for the info on the sake. Off to do more searching online. I was searching for things like "opal glass liquor federal law forbids" (as well as using "white milk...- Lbrewer42

Post-prohibition era white milk glass beer(?) bottle - help ID.
I got this at an insulator show Saturday. A couple of bottle people there and they said they had never seen one before. It is 10" tall and the base is 2 3/4" diameter. On the shoulder is: " Federal Law Forbids Sale or Reuse of this Bottle" On the bottom is as shown in the pictures. At...- Lbrewer42

Few people have b/c the owner of the company, inventor of Bromo-seltzer, made the Perfection Gingerale (and made the bottles as well b/c he owned Maryland Glass Co.) and it was sold only at Brooklandwood Springs (his property/business as well).

Finally Got a Perfection Gingerale!
Ever since 2012 I have had ebay email for any Perfection Gingerale bottle posted. Until last week 3 1/2 had been put on there and I missed them. After 12 years of waiting, I finally got one. I have posted info on the cobalt blue Citro bottles that are the little brother of these very rare...- Lbrewer42

Set of 4 Bromo Seltzer Embossed TORONTO, ONT
I know you said you have the smaller one, but do you see the larger ones? I wish I lived close to the border like I used to so I could go looking in antique shops etc. I would like to see if I could find cork tops of the larger ones. I have to wonder who made these? Maryland Glass made all...- Lbrewer42

Set of 4 Bromo Seltzer Embossed TORONTO, ONT
Do you remember much about the piece. Was it embossed right side up (I assume). Some of the ones for the displays are embossed upside down. I assume, if you could make it out, Baltimore? The guy to ask would be Ernie Dimler. His collection of Brom o seltzer bottles and anything having to do...- Lbrewer42

Set of 4 Bromo Seltzer Embossed TORONTO, ONT
A quart Bromo?! I just measured and my largest (both Balitmore and Toronto bottles) are 12 Oz. liquid capacity. The Balitmore bottle fits the top of the dispenser and looks , to the eye, the same size, but the Toronto one will not fit all the way down onto the unit.- Lbrewer42

Set of 4 Bromo Seltzer Embossed TORONTO, ONT
Thanks for this info. I have another Canadian friend who also told me he has only seen one of the larger bottles labeled Toronto. Funny thing is the Canadian Toronto bottle will not fit the top of the dispenser. It goes down over the rubber "cone" (hole in the center of the cone) that is on...- Lbrewer42

Citro Soda Bottle cobalt Looking to find how many molds - what is yours?
@ BrianP, Sorry I did not see your post until today. Email notification must have been filed in the junk folder for some reason? Thanks for sharing. I once dug shards to 2 or 3 of these and wishing I had kept them just to see if they were numbers I do not have.- Lbrewer42
