I have a clear bottle from the 1920's[it has a o in a square Owens bottle company..1903-1929..my bottle is machine made and has a crown top with the top still on that reads "SARSAPRILLA" on the top.
It is embossed UNION BOTTLING WORKS ..right above the middle of the bottle on one side and Cincinnati Ohio ..on the other side..the middle is embossed trade "P" mark in a circle below that it is embossed "Registered" on one side and "7 Flzs. on the other.
On the bottom it is again embossed with the trade "P" mark and the o in the square..and some numbers
It has a "mug" base curves in the middle then goes into being "fluted" [right word?] up to the neck.
A dilimma I have is it still has the liquid in it and some has turned into "gunk" that floats around.This hide the looks of the bottle..but if I mess with the cap that has Saraparilla on it...I used to have a couple of "cappers" but sold them..
Would it be better to try to gently as I can get the top off are leave it be?
There is one like it on ebay that is no where as good shape wise as mine and has no cap..which is really the only way to know what the bottle contained..The person has $19.94 buy it now [why 94?] and $8.44 shipping..[dreaming or does the person know something I don't?]
Has any one heard of this one?Is any one interested in buying mine...I don't expect to get what that other person on ebay ain't getting for it...I THANK ANY ONE FOR ANY HELP! !! JAMIE
