Hello!

I'm having some problems finding information about a bottle I found. I was just curious if anyone has came across one, maybe another MN junker :)

Bottle is 6" and is embossed with:
Mrs Baker's
Flavoring Extracts
Geo. R. Newell & Co.

The George R. Newell Co. was founded in Minneapolis, MN and eventually became SuperValu. All I've found for collectibles is a spice tin and some paper items.

Does the fact that the company (under that name) was only in business a short time increase the value of the bottle? I resell but tend to keep some of the interesting things ;)

Huh... Mrs Baker's. Baker's Flavoring Extracts is a common one but never heard of Mrs. Baker's. I wonder if they're the same product or competitors.

Completely different product than the Baker's Flavoring Extract bottles from Portland, Maine. Unfortunately there is not much collector interest in flavoring extract bottles, so value is likely less than $10 even though it does seem to be an uncommon bottle.
