Sweet bottle tumbler. The only reference to this bottle that I have is in Michael Polak's Bottle ID 4th Edition 2002, BARBER BOTTLE - Thurber's Toilet Bay Rum New York, medium orange amber, 11-1/4", smooth base, $150-250. Can't say that I have seen that one before. Looks like a good one to me.

THANKS.. I am having a hard time locating any info on this one. I can normaly find out with a goggle search. but this guy is a nice bottle. we dug it about 2 weeks ago in a 1890s dump.
I am just beside myself with this dump and the stuff coming out of it. going to list it on ebay tonight.

thanks alot

RE: Thurbers Toilet Bay Rum

Toilet water is what barbers used to call those "STINKS" they put on a mans hair or neck after a haircut. Bay Rum was/is a particularly stinky one.[] Good find though.

sometimes it helps to show your finds to your elders,they are a wealth of info.[8|]
