Any info on this one?

[Dink1957]

Every time I have posted a question on this site, I get honest, kind, and great information I don't think I would find any where else. I've never joined anything online like this community, and I am so glad I decided to. With that being said, can anyone fill me in on this bottle? Also, if someone could give me some pointers on how to take better pictures with my phone I would greatly appreciate it...

That would have had Honey & Almond Cream in it. Extremely popular product that was sold nationwide from the 1870's through the 1960's. Yours looks to be 1930's.

The mold seam all the way to the top indicates it was made by an automatic bottle machine (abm). Post 1905 for sure.

Ya I knew that it wasn't very old because of the seam but the embossing on it is cool and I was curious of when that bottle might have been made and nhpharm answered my question... What's crazy is a bottle made in 1930 is almost 100 years old... That makes me feel old

I hear that. I'm seeing people buying applied colored label sodas (acl) that I would have drunk and thrown away as a kid... Old indeed...

So what does that mean...applied colored labels.... It's it the plastic covering?

Something like this. No Paper Label, but Label painted on Bottle.

Wow awesome example... I just posted something a few mins ago and I said to the effect of this community is a great school for me... People such as you take your time and explain things untill I understand them and I can't thank you enough... So when did they start making "acl" bottles?

1935 about, some say 33 & 34 but if so it was very limited the first year or 2. by late 30's becoming more popular. LEON.
