Walnutta Anyone?

[Sam_MaineBottles]

Hi All -

Thought I'd post a pic of a bottle I have to see if anyone has any info on it. Bottle is 4 inches high, round, straight side, smooth base (with no marks), bluish tint, flared tooled lip and the word WALNUTTA embossed on the shoulder. I assume it is some type of food bottle but I really don't know - any info would be appreciated.

Thanks - Sam

I googled up a couple of references to Walnutta Hair Stain, circa 1904-05

That makes sense in a way, because in old historical novels I used to read, the fair maidens often used a concoction made of walnut shells to darken their skin when they wanted to disguise themselves, and they were also used as a primitive textile or yarn dye. But kind of have to giggle to think of some 1900's guy or gal sneaking off to touch up their grey with the Walnutta bottle.

Thanks for the info Bluebelle. Hair dye, I hadn't even considered that but it sounds reasonable - pretty neat!
