Rochester Germicide Bottle

[Just Dig it]

My moms Bestfriends Boyfriend Grabbed me this from a local mill they are gonna tear down = ) i love it already but i would like further information..judging by its shape and the upside down logo id think it went in a dispenser? i guess? it has a dish that fits it in no way with it.but it was made by the same company the dish states .

(in center circle on bottom)(sanor)
(Under circle)(Rochester Germicide Co.Rochester N.y.pat pending)

The bottle says
Rochester germicide
Rochester Ny
Pat jan25 1888
the seam runes to the lip but not over it boy am i curious!

Hi Eric, It had a steel rack-type dispenser that was made to hang on a wall. I think the dish was part of the setup. You can find the metal part on eBay once in a while, then you will have the whole thing. The upside-down embossing is cool. It was a disinfectant soap/sanitizer. ~Jim

I dug that dish once a long time ago and never found out what it was....now I know. Is the dish embossed, too? I can't remember if mine said anything, had to be at least 20 years ago. I don't even know what I did with it.
