Nestle's Malted Milk

[KBbottles]

Hello,

Obviously, I know what this is. It is a Nestle's Malted Milk bottle from around the 1920s era with their beautiful original logo. Nestle corp. was doing very poorly around that time and began focusing on manufacturing chocolate. It was also around this time they introduced the Malted Milk product. I would typically toss bottles like this if they were variants of Horlicks and such, but had never seen one of these before. After taking it home and searching it, there was barely any photos or info on the web, nothing on it in this forum, and not a single one up for sale on ebay which surprised me. Are they uncommon or at all valuable?

Cool! Obviously mine doesn't have the nice pristine lid to it but it did seem rather unique. Maybe ill put it out at south river.

Don't think I've ever seen one, but got to wonder if a few got tossed during digs as being Horlick's...

I dug one of those jars 4-5 years ago and was thinking it to be pretty scarce Myself ... Sold it on ebay for the opening bid of $10... Have never dug or seen another ... Not listed in the Redbook like the (Borden's-Horlick's) Malted Milk ... Good looking jar !!

Sweet bottle. Thats the first Ive ever seen. Looks identical to the Horlicks too. I would love to dig me one of those some day.
