Hi everyone,

I'm really liking this website. I came across a dump site on our property last summer ( first one) and found some neat old bottles. One of them is a Phenolax wafer bottle that stands about 2 1/2" tall and one is a 2 3/4" tall Q-ban for the hair bottle. Does anyone know the age of these? I think our building site has been here since the 1860's or so.
I appreciate your help.

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

I used to dig quite a few of these at a site in upstate New York that dated from about 1890-1910. Your at the right spot to find some keepers!

Thanks Mike,
With those I found sev. ink bottles. The q-ban bottle is really cute. Do you have any idea what it might be worth? I knew what I was finding was old, but didn't realize they were in that time frame.

Thanks so much for the information David. I have a lot of the bottles on display in our home, and now when someone asks, I can correctly tell them when some were made.
