Mine seems different then what is on the list. Mine has a Y at top lip area in front but directly behind it at rear at top lip area is the #51 not 53. At the bottom it sez G then 700, then 47. Is this Typical or Odd? LEON.

I have several Glenshaw squirt bottles and some of other sodas. Sometimes there is a number on the opposite side of the lip from the letter and sometimes not. Right now I'm looking at a perfect Squirt bottle with an "S" on the lip for 1947. It has no number on the opposite side of the lip. On the base it has the G inside the square 700 and 25. SPB thinks the 700 stands for 7oz. bottles, but the other numbers have nothing to do with the date. Perhaps like Owens-Illinois bottles they stand for container style number and/or mold cavity number.

BTW, I'm always interested in buying early Squirt bottles, particularly those that list the bottler on the back of the bottle. Please email me if interested.

Here's a Pic of mine

Thanks for sending the picture. Your squirt bottle is perfectly consistent with the "Y" (1953) on the neck of the bottle. The squirt bottles I am collecting date from 1947 and older.

Just in case the email doesn't reach you Squirtbob. I think you were the one asking me if I had any doubles of the Tazewell, Va Squirt. I don't, but one has shown up on ebay. I can vouch for the seller as I have dealt with him personally and on ebay.

Hello, Thanks for posting the squirt items . Most of them date to the 50's and 60's. I have concentrated on the earliest bottles from the late 30's to late 40's. I think I have them from about 20-25 different states now. I have a few very early crates, one or two dating from the late 30's. If I get an opportunity I'll post a few pictures. Keep me in mind if you have any of the early squirt bottles to sell.

HI, Just returned from a trip to the Boundary Waters in N. MN. What a great place. I missed the original auction but thanks again for the tip. I contacted the dealer and he had another one and I just bought it. It also dates from the 50's so if you come across an earlier one I'd be interested in that also.
