Got this one for free at an estate sale awhile back.

How on earth do you date these? I want to put it on buyerbewarebay.com soon. Any help from resident experts much appreciated!

One I bought new in the early 90's had a child proof cap but I think the 82 on the label may be a date of make or expiration. I'm not sure how fast and restrictive the 1970 act was. You can still buy the stuff.

All I could find is Standard Laboritories started operations in 1950.

The base mark is from Obear-Nester Glass Co., East St. louis, Il. The mark was used from about 1915 - 1970's

ORIGINAL: TheCaliKid

What the...?

I thought this thing was like 100 years old?

Hey Kid,

In this case I think just the moustache is over 100 years old. Earl's image has been used a long time.

Do you think it is 1940's vintage?
Paul mentioned Standard as starting in 1950. If he's right then ...no. Currently I think they are made by Lee Pharmaceuticals.
I'd go with 50's, 60's, 70's or 1982.[:)]
