help ID, NUjO1

[pkokich]

The bottle is a clear flask,10cm's wide and 12 tall with seams running to the top the word NUjO1 {NU and O are underlined} is embosed across the front.On the base in what apears to be a pontil is a dimond with an I inside it and a 7 outside the pontil.
Any one help cheers.

If there's a seam running all the way up, it's a ABM bottle (machine made) the diamond symbol is a trade mark for Diamond Glass, 1924 - present. You might want to check your library for a book on bottles to geta better idea of a pontil mark. Or better yet, check out the links for this site - there's a great deal of good information and pictures out there! Good luck with your hunt

Now that I see the picture, I've seen that bottle in my digs at newer sites before. I passed on it because its not something I'm normally interested in. If you look again at the embossing, I think you'll agree that that's a i not a 1. Read it phonetically and it seems to say "New JOY" - sounds like toilet water or cologne?

NUJOL is a mineral oil laxative which is still available in Canada, though not in the USA apparently.

I guess if it relieves constipation, you would be more 'joyful' than you were before you took it! No - I don't think I've seen it locally sold, but being here (Maine) perhaps the ones I've seen were smuggled across the nearby border.

I've found those bottles on army camps here in Victoria, they are not very old maybe 1930's-40's. Interesting to know they are a laxative, I always thought they where an aftershave (would not go well under the armpits [:'(] [] ).

Yes, I've found these before in New Hampshire and was always curious about what it may have been.
I thought it may have been a cosmetic bottle, also.
Didn't look old enough to keep, though.
