Can anyone help me out? I'm wondering howo to determine if this bottle is authentic?

Thanks in advance for any help. If anyone knows a value for this, I'd appreciate the info too. Thanks!

The bottle is authentic, and comes in other shapes and sizes , and some have really nice color to them . They used to be quite popular in my area some time back, especially the larger jars. Wish I still had one of the larger jars as well as the other different sizes with color to show you, but I got rid of all of mine some time back .

Went and did a quick search and found a picture of one of the gallon size jars for you. I would say if you did a search on Google for Horlicks , you could probably come up with some info pertaining to the history of this company. I think there is also a Horlicks jar from England as well if I remember right. Hope this helps.

yep Louis is right, there is one from England. England is where it is from and you can order it on the internet and it is pretty good. Kind of strange drinking something after you have dug a few old bottles form the same brand. Yours is worth about 20 bucks but it you can find a lid it will bring the value up to about 50 bucks. You can do a forum search and find alot of info on them and you can order you some and try it out.

Hey Cap and LC, I didn't know these were worth anthing. Used to leave them at the dumps. I have one somewhere with a ground lip, screw top. I'll see if I can locate it and get a pic.

Hey Greg,
You'll find that the tablets bottle only comes in the one size, unless someone has seen one in a larger size, which I'd also like to see.
The bottles come in clear, aqua and a light blue. They'll be embossed from difffernt places, as you have seen. Some will have Racine, Wisconsin, some London, England, some with both. The earlier Aqua bottles either have Racine or Slough's Bough, England embossed. I also have one with Montreal embossed, which I think is the toughest one to find. The earlier variants don't have the round company "crest" on them.

The most I ever got out of a gallon green cast Horlicks was twenty bucks logueb, and that was back in the eighties, I have no idea what one would bring today.

Here's the one I have. Aqua, ground lip, 11" tall. It's missing the original cap but a Mason jar zinc lid fits nicely.

Good looking jar Jane, the lid missing is pretty common in my area for these jars . Have seen only a very few of them with the original lid.
