Dr.Brown

[digger don]

Did anybody hear of an amber bottle embossed Dr.Browns on one side and One and only one on the other side. It has an applied crown top. I can't find any info on it. Thanks.

Root beer.. we find lots of them in the local 1920's dump.. nice color variations sometimes, but pretty common.

Thanks cyber

It could also have been a different concoction, very likely celery soda.. according to THIS exerpt.. either way, it seems Dr. Browns was and still is popular among the American Jewish community, which makes sense that we find so many in Lakewood..

That same bottle was used for at least sixty years for Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Celery Tonic. The ones pictured date L-R: 1910, 1930, 1950, 1969.

If it's different from the ones I have. I have eight different without labels from various glass makers.

the one I have in my immediate grasp says "9.6 FLUID OUNCES" on front heel, and on base, a faint "N23" ..it's honey amber, and it's sick as a dog..

I have a 9.6 ounce but it's W.T.Co. "N23" would be Newark OH plant of IL Glass in 1923. Any chance you have one not "sick as a dog"? I'll be in Cliffside Park this weekend visiting my son.
