Packer's Shampoo bottle info needed

[a23fraser]

I pulled a mint condition glass bottle from the Farmington river in Tariffville, Ct today but I am a newbie to bottle collecting and need some help dating/appraising this piece.
It is clear, 6 inches tall, 4 indented squares on each side and a small "liquid dispenser" opening at the mouth. It is embossed on the base "Packer's Shampoo" a sideways "44" on the right and a sideways "1" or "l" on the left of the "packers shampoo". I found that it was a pine tar shampoo but no dates have come up or info on the glass bottles?

Welcome Aaron, Packers was out of New York and ads were as early as 1880 through the 1920's. That's where I stopped. One soap box also had Mystic Conn. I'd need a little more info on the bottle. The 44 may be a date code. Is the bottle screw top? Machine made (mold seams all the way to the top)?

Thanks for the reponse! This site is great, I am so glad I found it. I think I found a new hobby!!

Yes it looks to be machine made, the seam runs all the way through the top. And it does appear to have a screw top.
