Big Bromo !

[Mike O]

Dug this at a construction site in Boston, How big did bromo's come? I guess this one is a full quart ? It is 8" tall and 3 1/2" accross!

I believe that is the largest size that they sold. I've only ever dug One out of about a Thousand or more. Still have mine on the shelf to this day cause it's so Cool!!!

Only found 1 that size. It had a golf ball sized hole in the front of it. Nice find.

Very cool! I'd guess if the embossing were upside down that it was to a dispencer. Maybe it still was but the didn't think to do that.

My first post !!
Ron's my name, Bromo's are my game.
This style (abm corker) was made in 2.5", 4", 5", 6.5", & the 8" tall.
The 8" was sold to drug stores for their dispensers.
Or to keep at home. For those patrons addicted to Bromo Seltzer (kind of like getting the 1.75 L. bottle of JD
instead of the fifth or 750ml size). Helps with savings and consumption.
p.s. Acetanilide (a stable ingredient) caused addictions and in combination with the Bromides, included, caused
poisoning and death in some. But we all know that too much of a good is not always good for you.
They certainly could have embossed the lettering upside down, but they didn't. Instead the paper label was
applied upside down.
If I could figure how to post a jpeg I'd show you.

Rxeyecup, welcome to the forum! Do a search on this site on Bromo and see some of the off color ones I collect. Mike, the Baltimore book lists a 9 or 9 1/2 inch Bromo ( I'll have to check my book) but I have never seen one bigger than the 8 inch version.
