wildroot bottle

[eastonsalvo16]

I was digging out an old gas station and found a wildroot bottle. It is about 8-10" tall. Clear glass. On the sides WILDROOT is on it with vines or flowers wrapped around it. It has a long skinny neck that has a very small hole on the top. On the bottom there is a triangle with a number 7 under it. Can anyone help me out on any information about it. Seems cool. Thanks

Hey eastonsalvo16,

Wildroot is a fairly well known Hair tonic - still on the market today. Your bottle sounds very similar to one I dug last year. I believe it dates from the 1940's or 50's. Just Google "wildroot" and see how many hits you get! Regardless of how common they are, there's something cool about the shape and that NAME - WILDROOT. Have fun scrolling through all those sites.
