I've been picking over a glass (and apparently shoe) dump on and off for a little while now. Much of it seems to be from the 40's to the 60's.
Plenty of Vics bottles, Ponds bottles, beer/wine bottles, and Clorox bottles.
Recently I pulled out a clear glass Clorox bottle (not amber). I've looked everywhere I could think of but haven't found any info on it.
It looks just like the 32 oz 1940-1944 bottles on the Clorox web site (not sure of neck diameter) but instead of amber in color it is clear.
Any info on this you all could give me?

Thanks for the welcome.

I do not right now. But it does look exactly like the amber bottles; down to the plastic screw on cap, raised, solid lettering, and lack of any grain texture.

Welcome to the forum! Normally Clorox bottles are some of the most detestable bottles for a seasoned collector to find. Millions were made, so they will probably be around after a nuclear apocalypse.
That said, of the hundreds I have seen, none were clear. While I doubt it has any substantial value, it is a rare find (normally not a term associated with Clorox). I'm sure that in the future, it will accrue some value, so hold onto it, and keep digging!

I could swear I saw those in the tailings of 1930-40's dumps.. never bothered to check them out. I could be wrong.

I have a clear one, but have never seen another. Wish I knew the value.
