Bottle I bought

[Tandy]

[] Can anybody tell me about a bottle with Longmore's Olive Oil, fluted rather like goldfield's oils, green aqua in colour, base mark M, about 5 fluid ounces? []

 

[David E]

My notes show M

Before 1916, and M inside of a circle since 1916 for Maryland Glass, for Emerson Drug,(makers of Bromo Selzer)

 

[Tandy]

[] Thanks David E for that information, but the M (not in a circle) means it was made in Melbourne.[]

Melbourne Glass Bottle Works Co (M.G.B.C) 1900 to around the start of WW1 [] .
I have seen that Longmore's Olive Oil bottle before but can't really tell you much about it, I don't think they are easy to get but the value would not be a lot due to not much interest in the later oils. Nice looking bottle.

[] Thanks Irish. I am not really too worried as to whether it would bring a good price, it will look good on my shelves.[]

That certainly is a nice looking bottle. I wouldn't kick it off my shelf [] If it was a blob top soda with the many sides like that it'd be worth hoops. reminds of this..these bottles are at privydigger.com.
