This bottle is driving me nuts.

Hi, I know it isn't worth anything or even that old (1958). But I have spent hours online trying to figure out what this bottle held. Can anyone please help me before my head explodes?Lisa

Looks like cooking oil to me--I often see the vertical lines in cooking oil bottles, albeit they tend to look different in shape. Nonetheless, likely it is a cooking oil bottle. I today created a standard-style chart at where I volunteer for them to go off of in looking at what bottles they have and included standard designs of cooking oil bottles (I did an appraisal today there, also. Only one could I not figure out, but that was an H. G. CO. insulator in aqua (help!?) with a small H on the dome and was crude-looking with sharp edges but no drip-points or inner skirt. That and the milk bottle is their best stuff. I intend to trade for the insulator, I believe it to be pre-1910.) They tried making me take a 1950s Drink Paul's Drinks bottle after I mentioned I have a collection of them, but I have like... 4 or 5 now. Now alsoway off topic....
I nearly exploded yesterday. Lol. The pressure got so bad I felt numb and about to burst. Get well soon, okay? It's not good to feel such a way. Seriously bad for your health.

I believe this is a Mohawk blackberry brandy bottle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Unique-Embossed-Mohawk-Blackberry-Brandy-4-5-Qt-Bottle-with-cap-/291224624340?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ce571cd4

Lisa, did you dig this bottle? The cap shouldn't have lasted so well if from the '30s. Didn't you say it is 1958, anyway?

Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!!!! I took the cap off and the smell of brandy hit me like brick. It was about 2 feet deep and the cap did kinda crumble when I took it off. It's so weird that I looked for this bottle for days and got an answer here in minutes. Live and learn.Thanks again!!Lisa

 

[LisaTammy]

Mine doesn't have the embossing on the back or the federal law prohibits.............Is this because it is newer? That's what threw me off thinking it was a liquor bottle in the first place.Lisa

That's what the forum's for. To help and solve.
Who knows? Someone will come along eventually--soon-- and explain that.
