Burlington New Jersey bottles

Richard White · Jul 10, 2009

I'm currently researching bottles from Burlington, New Jersey. I wonder if I could ask the members here to send me an email with a list of any Burlington bottles they have in their collection, so that I can try to find if there are any that I've missed in almost 40 years of collecting and researching. Also, would you be interested in having a photograph of any of your bottles used in a book I am preparing on the subject?

email: rwhite@thewildlifemuseum.org

Members can post in the thread if they think anyone else might be interested.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, Kevin. No new names, but I did not have a record of a Powell's without Dr. Burr, so added one variety. Do you have these bottles?

I'm not familiar with any patent medicines from there but am interested to hear of them if there are some.

I'm not aware of any proprietary medicines from Burlington (unless the Cheesman is proprietary) , but there are a number of embossed pharmacy stock bottles:

Weaver / Perscriptionist / Burlington, N.J. [Henry B. Weaver]
Williams / Opp. Station / Burlington, N.J.
J. H. Cameron / Burlington, N.J.
J. W. Davis / Druggist / Burlington, N.J.
J. R. Cheesman / Cough Cure / Burlington, N.J. [probably Cheeseman]
W. A. Finnigan / Burlington, N.J. (Citrate of Magnesia embossed on back)
J. C. Miller
John A. Vandergrift
C. P. Smith / Druggist / Burlington N.J. [Charles P. Smith]

These all seem to have been made by either the Millville Bottle Works, or by Whitehall Tatum.

Here are some of the burlington soda bottles of which I am aware. There are several of which I do not yet have drawings. These are preliminary drawings, and haven't been cleaned up by the illustrator.
