Good morning fellow diggers. I'm watching the baby today and can't go out so I figured I'd post a few that I found in a $1 a bucket sale. The bucket alone was worth a buch. Anyway from left to right I have a "Schlotterbeck & Foss, Company, Portland, Maine." Next is an unembossed coffin shaped bottle. Poison?!? Is it safe to say that all coffin shaped bottles are poison? The last bottle is one of my favorites. Its "WILDROOT, COMPANY INC., BUFFALO, N.Y." Any info would be great. Swiz

The schlotterbeck bottle is a BIM and the clear glass is an ABM but the wildroot has me stumped. It has a seam that goes to the bottom of the lip and another seam that goes around the base of the lip. One of the seams goes through the lip and on the other side it does not or its so faint that it doesn't appear too. The lip itself appears to have been applied after the bottle was blown as it looks to be slightly off center. I'm guessing that if its ABM then its a very early ABM . The inside of the lip is smooth so I don't think its a true applied lip. Any help? Swiz

The "coffin" is a perfume/cologne. I have a couple with Dragonflys embosssed on the sides....where the shoulder bulges outward.


((old TV jingle from the late 50's and early 60's))
"Use Wildroot cream oil , Charlie
It keeps your hair so trim.
You see...
it's non-alcoholic, Charlie
Cause it's made with
Soothing lanolin"..

(or something like that)HA!
