Hope the mods dont mind me starting a new thread. The other Phillips MOM threads didnt have posts for over a year. []
I was just wondering how to figure out the year on my Phillips Milk of Magnesia bottle. I looked through all the threads on MOM and couldnt figure out for sure. I know it's common and it's not worth anything--I dont care, I'm just a bottle freak. []
The bottle is a screw-top of the lighter cobalt blue, not the really dark blue, and it's got the trademark shield (or whatever it's called) on it. It reads "Milk Of Magnesia, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off., The Chas. H. Phillips Chemical Company, Glenbrook, Conn."
I think the lighter blue bottles are older than the darker, right? Also, the shield was trademarked/patented/whatever in 1906, so this one must be newer than 1906...? My best guess is 1920-1940. What's throwing me off is the fact that there's no year embossed on the front...a lot of the ones I've read about on here have the year on them. The bottom is embossed U.S.A and "10" on one side, "M" on the other.
I can post a picture if it will help, but I'm sure y'all have seen tons of these. [8D]
Thanks for your help! []
