Milk of Magnesia Bottle

bottlerocket · May 21, 2014

I found this Milk of Magnesia Bottle today. I have no doubt that a zillion of these were manufactured but they are just so darn cool.How can I get an approximate date on this one?Any value to a collector?It has a screw topIt has Milk of Magnesia around the logo."The Chas. H. Phillips Chemical Company Glenbrook Conn." embossed on the front.The Bottom has the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company logo with USA. There is a B above the USA and a 9 below.There is also a K-928 number there.Any info would be appreciated.

Yes, they are very common and have minimum value. The cobalt blue color is attractive though.Not very old since it has a screw top and is ABM. Probably dates around the 1930's.

this bottle was made by anchor hocking, so id put it late 1930s.early 40s.

I agree they are cool..I love the earlier cork top ones..there is a very small version of one...guess it was a sample bottle... Seems like the earliest has the patent date of 1908 [?] embossed at the bottom of the bottle...JAMIER

I think a lot of them are embossed 1906.

That's Hazel Atlas but I agree with 1930's plus.

Hi, the 1906 date is usually at the bottom of the earlier ie non-screw top bottles & was the registration date. Glassman - the smallest ones were for Phillips tablets.

Any idea as to the approximate date range of the cork top, Reg. 1906 bottles? I just located a very nice one and would like to roughly date it.

I have a cork top Milk of Magnesia bottle too! Mine is machine made. They made blown ones too is your bottle blown or is it machine made?
If it is blown it is dated to the 1890s or around 1900. If its machine made then it will date to before the 1920s. I think they stopped making them cork top in the early 1920s. Also here is a picture of mine is your bottle simmilar?
