cologne? to attatch the whole collection you must change the file size with a photo editor you make the picture 400 pixels wide then it will fit thats what i do

I'll try it. It will take me a while to figure out how to do that. I was thinking the Cal-so-Dent is some kind of dental product, but I'm really not sure. I'll send my collection soon. I think it's awesome! []
Here's one more in the mean time.

Well now, a W.B. Caldwell's makes you a bonified bottle digger.[sm=lol.gif] That is the kind of bottle that has fallen many a sturdy soul via the bottle disease. It is very common but many long time diggers/collectors have one including myself. The Cal-So-Dent is tooth polish.

By the looks of your finds you are possibly in a turn of the century (TOC) to early 1930s dump. There may be some late throw aways in there too or some older stuff under the stuff you are finding.

Welcome to the ranks of those who fallen to the disease.[]

as amazing as this may sound i have been digging and collecting for over a year now and i still dont have a syrup pepsin yet but i do have the caldwell's laxative

 

[jessicaw]

I know...I'm braggin... but I have 2 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin bottles! Now I need to find the laxative. Yes, I'm hooked. Here's another pic. Let me know what you know. These are little chapstick tins or something. One says Selecto and the other Merry Widow. I can't find anything on the internet.

Welcome Jessica. I am new to the forum also; however I have been collecting bottles for over 40 years. Ran across a pile of bottles and jugs on my Grandmother's land while hunting. I must have looked a sight trying to lug all that I could home. Every pocket and hunting pouch packed with bottles. The Bottle Bug Bit.
Yes , I have most of the bottles in your pics. in my collection. Give em a good cleaning and find a good spot to display them.
The WB Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin appears to be a machine made bottle. Check to see if the mold seam on the side goes all the way to the top. Your sites appear to be from the 1920's thru as late as the 1950's. These are a part of History. As you study bottles you learn history, and if you love history you will love bottle collecting. Good Luck!!!

Warren is correct. [] My dad ran a Country Store when I was coming up in the 50's. Three per pack. The brand he sold came in plastic containers and each were aluminum foil wrapped.
