Hi everyone - I'm new here! I've been reading up on descriptions of Dr. Ellis bottles and keep finding the ones about a wave set and dipping the comb in the bottle, but I've got one that is different and was wondering if anyone had any information on it. It would have had a screw type lid, but it is gone. There are several deep, vertical lines on the back of the bottle and on part of the front, yet there is a complete, clear rectangular area in the front with no lines at all. The only words are on the bottom and it says - Dr. Ellis on one line and underneath says Made in U.S.A.

Any thoughts?

Thank you, Madman for the welcome! The thing is, I don't see anything about a wave set on my bottle. All I see is the name Dr. Ellis on the bottom. It doesn't look like any of the bottles in your picture. Maybe I can get a picture of it tomorrow and will post back.

Okay, here's a couple of pictures of the bottle. Excuse the dirt . . . it was dug out of a creek! [;)]

I know it's no great find, just curious as it does not fit the typical Dr. Ellis wave set bottle. Thanks for any information! [;)]

Thank you, Mike! I'm guessing though it is of no value since it isn't that old and has the screw on lid thing . . . right?
