New? Old? Either way I bought it.

Bought this the other day for less then a dollar. Thought it was cute...is it old? How old? I've never seen one before...any information would be nice!

I am guessing 1890s-1915 or so . I dug a couple of different sizes of them in an ash dump amongst hutch sodas and the likes back in the seventies. Might be wrong , but I believe they have also reproduced them as well.

i think it's neat even if it's a repro. I like to put flowers in them on a nightstand or on a vanity.
where ever you can put a bottle and if you like it thats all that matters.
unless you strickly want just the real stuff...I have mostly real with a few repros throw in here and there.
you look like you're having fun. I enjoy your posts. []

I don't know if you could call it reproduced. They still make them with a screw on lid or in plastic with a pop off or squeeze out lid.

A guy across the river comes and removes swarms for me almost every spring. he uses them in glass for honey with combs and plastic for just honey.

The bottom has small bumps/dots along the outer edge while the inside just says "Honey Acres" in very hard to read letters.
