    any ideas about this bottle

    I just finished cleaning the bathroom (yea) and noticed a bottle of Mr. Clean under the cabinet. It's plastic of course, but has a shape that is very similar to the glass bottle I'm researching. Including the grips on the side. So I'll have to search for old Top Job and Mr. Clean ads to see...

    any ideas about this bottle

    Found 10's if not 100's of these bottles at a dig site that contained household items exclusively. I have a few that have fragments of the label, but I couldn't decipher any of the wording. I can say that the label appeared to have different shades of blue (from dark blue to baby blue), with...

    Here's a picture of the bottle. Screw top, 4/5 quart.

    help with bottle makers mark

    Wow, that was quick! Would you think it reasonable to suggest that the 47 in 4725 is the date of manufacture? The 15 next to the symbol probably relates to the mold that was used, and who knows what the 25 in 4725 is. But both the 15 and 25 would seem to be too early. And as I indicated, the...

    help with bottle makers mark

    I have what I believe to be a wine bottle from the 1940's (based on other bottles found at same dig site), but having trouble identifying the bottle makers mark. I searched the internet and all the usual sites that have makers mark symbols, but coming up empty. So I scanned the bottom of the...

    Old bottle, same old questions

    Another question. So beer wine or beer bottles that dated to the so-called post-prohibition period did not require the Fed warning for the simple reason that they were low alcohol? Combined with the bootlegging issue. And then does that suggest that it wasn't until the post-prohibition period...

    Old bottle, same old questions

    Regarding the Cullen–Harrison Act, when did higher percentage alcohol become legal. Say your standard 12-13% wine, or 80 proof bourbon?

    Old bottle, same old questions

    Thanks for all the great post responses. Quinta dos Loridos, Jose Berardo's enterprise, is still in operation, but I can't find reference to when it opened, or when he started making wine. Recognizing that Quinta dos Loridos is way more than just wines. Check out the website. I like the idea...

    Old bottle, same old questions

    Found a bottle while shoveling and it has a few features that I'd throw to someone else for help. The internet couldn't solve my answers. First, it's a clear bottle (looks to be 4/5 quart, but doesn't say so) with no screw top; must have had cork. Second, it has the obligatory...

    Have you seen me?

    Check out this Ad from 1961. It features the logo on the bottom of the bottle that I showed earlier. Check out lower right hand corner of Ad. I love it when a story comes together!

    Have you seen me?

    LOGUEB.........you're the dude or the gal. Don't know which, but it doesn't matter. Wiki information indicates not such a good run for Sucaryl (or sodium cyclamate). Looks like it reached US markets around 1958 or 1959, but then in 1966 the walls fell in. Tox studies started revealing a...

    Have you seen me?

    Thanks everyone for your comments. So TJSJHART, you're suggesting that the little nib on the tip of the cap (see attached picture) can be snapped off to allow drop-like application? As opposed to a simple ornamental touch? Definitely makes sense to me. I wonder why none of the caps I found...

    Vernors Bottle

    But what about the bottom of the bottle, like sodapopbob suggested?

    My wife LOVES Vernor's soda. Would you consider selling?
