These are my oldest Phillips bottles that still have labels. The tall one is the older, but despite the label listing nine thousand conditions Milk of Magnesia will fix (headaches, crabbiness, etc) I cannot find a date. The bottle has no embossing anywhere.
The label on the 7 inch bottle has the 1906 date. The reverse side has embossed shield "Phillips milk of magnesia rec'd U.S. patent pat. office Aug. 21, 1906." The bottom has "T" above "24".
I'd be interested to see other old Phillips Labels.
