In the past few years I've started a small collection of cobalt blue glass just because I've loved it since I was a kid. I just realized that I don't have a Vicks VapoRub jar which our family went through many of back then. I started looking on eBay and see several styles from different eras. I'd be interested in getting a general idea of the age of these, and maybe others can post pics of their jars. Also, if anyone has been able to date them from the embossing on the bottom of the jar.
One other thought came to mind. The Vicks throat lozenges were triangular, back then at least.
The three styles (seemingly oldest first) See attached pictures.
- Old green label, old-time red lid. Mid-late 40’s? early 50’s?
- Green label, white and red lid - late 40’s to late 50’s?
- White Label, green lid. 60’s – 70’s typeface
