Here's a pic of an old ketchup jar. Don't have a date but was told it was from the mid 1880's.

Hey Jeff. How would i know if it was a chilli sauce bottle. what book would i look in. thanks again.

 

[diggerjeff]

the mouth looks to wide for a catsup. looks like you could get a spoon in it . cant tell by pic but it looks to be 6-7 inches tall. i will take a look in some books when i get off work tonight and i will get back.

 

[diggerjeff]

might even be a horseradish bottle.

Me again, Heinz had at least 8 marks, the one you have is 1860 to 1869.
Bottles and their makers Julian H. Toulouse. I only have notes from this book and it is out of print and the guys on the forum say it is a pricey book. If we could catch the thief who stole it from our library, he'd be strung up.
