I have always liked these Phillips cobalt bottles. Is this one BIMAL or ABM ? I have one of the Bimal which is a pale aqua. I believe that the 1906 patent date was still on the machine made bottles for a time. . What was the rest of today's dig? Would love to see the pics. I haven't been...
The Coca Cola bottle appears to be a 1915 almost clear soda. The pinch-in near the bottom was more on the 1915 and not so much on the 1923. Would love to see a close up on this one and what city it is from. Not sure on the other clear soda-Whistle, Squirt ,Canada Dry??? . The rest appear to be...
Using bottles meant for one thing and used for a different product and label still happens today. Hand sanitizer was being put in quart size whiskey bottles I guess by some distillers (alcohol kills germs). I heard of a case where a bottle of whiskey was labeled as whiskey but was actually...
Thanks for the info Robby. Interesting that the Ord may stand for order. I did find some listings for J.T. pottery. I agree that it may be English. It came up for auction and I could not pass it up for $7. Thanks again.
A lot of jars from this time period could be reused when empty for refrigerator water bottles and canning jars. A canning jar cap should fit the square jar.
Would love to see the photos of the base also. Been collecting for 50+ years. Dug a lot of blue mason jars and never seen that color . Hope it turns out to be legit.
The ridged sides and shape of the bottle remind me of the old Halo Shampoo bottle. But the narrow opening of the neck appear to be some type of hair tonic or lotion. I have found similar bottles with a metal cap and spout. Small opening makes them hard to clean.
There are some in that color green which are embossed CC Soda on the shoulder. This one appears to be a 1942 ( dot after number was used by Owens / Illinois in the 40's)
Glad to see that you are still at it Leon. Great find, and maybe a whole one will show up soon. I always keep a crier until a better one shows up. Buster
Ball made bottles and jars for many products in the 30's. Ball is mostly known for canning jars. I would guess that this was from the 30's. what is the entire lettering that begins with " Do not fill above this line......." ?
