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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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...
As promised, details from the underside of the bottle.
The bottle makers mark for most of the bottles is an A in a circle.........Armstrong Cork Company (Glass Division), Lancaster, PA; Millville, NJ [former Whitall Tatum Co. plant] ; Dunkirk, IN [former Hart Glass Mnfg Co. plant]. Mark was...
Please find attached a picture of a bottle I'm trying to identify. The bottle was one of several (7-8 in all) that were recovered from a dump pit used by an abandoned merchant shop. This pit was clearly devoted to containers that held everyday household items (e.g. cosmetics, food, hygiene...
Post note: Could you get a close up shot of the red label at the bottom of the first bottle? It looks like these bottles come from South Africa and were imported to the States. Is this correct? Does the second bottle have the same red label toward the bottom, rear? If from South Africa, they...
If logueb is correct in his year prediction, the bottles should be stamped with the Federal warning somewhere on the decanters. If not, there are post 1964. Again, if there are any numbers or symbols on the bottom, posting them would help. Doesn't have to be a pic, just describe. Just trying...
