Thanks. Yes, and in the picture gallery there. Here is the link where I posted a number of different bottles: Yes, here is the link

Here is one of the most, to me, amaaing ones. I have this posted on this forum as well, but think more pics...
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). This was all in Baltimore. I have talked with...
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...
Some background: I am the National Insulator Research and Education Chairman. I have dealt with a lot of irradiated insulators and given a seminar concerning it. As part of the NIA research I used a gamma radiation source at Penn State to deliberately alter different insulators to identify...
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...
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...
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.
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...
I have chronic migraines, so what better excuse to put more cobalt blue on the shelves and collect Bromo Seltzer stuff? I saw a Bromo Seltzer display online a few years ago and Had to have that huge chunk of cobalt glass but cheated the system a little b/c I bought mine a part at a time...
@ 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.
@UncleBruce:
Wow - I am very appreciative of this great set of detailed instructions! At present the one I want to highlight is Buffalo Lithia Water I recently got and was thinking only the lettering, but now you have me thinking I could try the seated woman effigy as well.
In the past I have...
On some bottles I have traced the lettering with a Sharpie. Over time I note the ink/marker disappears and the embossing is like it was originally. Can anyone here recommend a type of marker that will not fade with time?
