Not only do they go together, the numbers on the top tell you when to take the next dose. My wife loves those things.

The glass with the grapes in the bottom is a jelly glass. Jelly was sold in dinner glasses as a bonus. Cool finds Tim. Glad to see you have a little time to dig.

Cap
Interesting about the jelly jar. I wouldn't have guessed that. I was thinking grape juice![8|] How did they cap it or attach a lid - or was it just a "fresh air" serving of jelly?

the lid was a thin round piece of metal that was bent down around the edges of the glass i dont know if they sealed but i have dug a few with the lid still on them

Thanks for the info. Boy - what did we do before the internet and forums? I guess thats what bottle clubs are all about, eh?

Nice finds, Tim. The Vapo-Cresolenes came in both mold-blown and ABM. Even though they are common, I still like Vapo-Cresolene bottles. There's nothing else quite like them and it is fun to collect the different sizes, variations and colors. ~Jim
