Ingrams Milk Weed Cream

[ksdigger]

Dug from a creek bed on the site of an old ghost town here in KS. It's Milk glass, and Ingrams Milk Weed Cream is embossed around the rim.

Anyone seen one?

*pats self on the back*
It's in great condition, except for a hairline crack on the inside(can't tell for sure if it's a crack, or just a defect) do you know what the manufacturing date is for those?

Here are some clearer pics of the bottle being discussed. I also have a cobalt Ingram's Shaving Cream bottle around somewhere. Slimdigger

Hi Angie[] I dug up the same bottle a couple of months ago here in Maine. It came out of a 1920s era dump site. What I like about the bottle is the faint swirls in the glass that almost gives it a marble-ized appearance. Mine has a patent # on the base - 481953, I believe there's a list somewhere around my house that reveals the approximate age of an item based upon it's patent #. I'll post it when I can find it, I've started packing things away due to an up-coming move[&:]

I thought the same thing about that swirl in the glass. Thanks for the clearer pictures as well... I have a great proffessional camera, but keep sending my husband off with the film... he forgets to put them on disk for me. (and I hate digital cameras... bad experience.. dont ask)
Mine only has one thread on the lip. It looks alot smaller.

The patent number on this one is 481953
