Thanks again logueb, I did the same search as you, but did not get the same results for some reason. That does look like the one I have. Thanks again for your efforts, Lou

Wow, it took more than two years from the filing date?

Lou, Were you able to copy the info on the patent? If not, when you bring up Google Patents, type in 950888, then click on Island. You gotta have this info to go along with your thingy. It's a great to have this design info on one of your collectibles.

Yes, I did get all the info concerning the patent. Thanks again

 

[logueb]

No problem, It was actually my first successful attempt at a Google patent search. You just have to keep narrowing down the list.

Wow, that's a great resourse, thanks!!! Never knew it was there.
I tried to find the Wyeth dose bottle. It took a while as they spelled WYETH as WYETII. I gues they couldn't make out the cross bar. Anyway, according to that I can date my Pat. App For to between April 20, 1899 and May 16, 1899. It sure didn't take long for this. Over 100 and narrowed to less than a month. Of coarse there was probably some overlap.
Unless I'm reading more into than there is.
