I picked this up at a garage sale REAL cheap. I can't find my Red Book. Can someone please tell me what the RB# is and value please? It is 5" tall, tooled lip, somewhere between aqua and apple green in color, nothing on bottom, and says "MELLIN'S INFANT'S FOOD DOLIBER-GOODALE Co. BOSTON" on front, and "SMALL SIZE" on back. Looks like it took a cork or wax seal.

I have a more recent pint size version as well. It just says "MELLINS" on the front and back, and took a screw on lid, with a smooth top in aqua. Here's apic of the older jar:

Thanks in advance,

Hello
The mellins were food bottles. Came in three sizes or more. I have seen them with a glass lid or corked. Selling to the right person....around $15. But you have both the older version , including the company name(almost a blob top) and the smaller version. Both make it more desirable. It is a common bottle but one that I was always happy to dig. I held on to quite a few over the years. Hope this helps.

That's why it's not in RB, they were more of a bottle. RB includes some product jars ie Horlicks and WA-NE-TA but they were intended for or commonly used for canning when the product was gone.
