Found an neat one behind my house

[Older The Better]

Was looking behind my house for mushrooms and found this one, from what I can find it’s probably not particularly old but I like the embossed lettering and the little flower scene… with that and the Paris and ny labels I would have thought maybe late 1800’s but the screw top and my research seem to hint more towards 1940 ish. I don’t know how common these are but it’s unusual as far as what I’ve found.

Can't really tell by your pics,but the threaded lip on these toiletry bottles were called sprinkler top. These were introduced in the 1920s and still used today. I would guess yours to be the time frame you suggested....neat little bottle.

Nice embossed bottle
Here's the history of the company right up to modern times.

Thanks for the info, that reminds me, the top was throwing me a bit, the older ones were just open, but all the newer examples had metal or rubber tops I couldn’t quite tell, this one is glass and I don’t think the metal/rubber bit sat over the top because it the dimensions don’t look like they line up…. Also any tips on how to clean the inside of a bottle like this?

 

[villagenut]

Yes, now that I see it fully, it is a post 1920s sprinkler top finish. You may be able to get a bottle brush down inside there.

If you can get some crushed ice down inside, put some salt and ice and a little water and swirl it around, we used to clean coffee pots that way and they looked brand new when we finished and that included the pots that boiled down to nothing but black bottoms. You could fill a straw with ice and blow it into the bottle.

Nice bottle Anything old with some nice embossing on is a good find

Regardless of anything else,that,s a pretty bottle! I,d love to have one of those I,d found to put on the shelf!

Thanks I like the embossing too, I don’t know if you’d call it a bottle dump but I’ve found a handful of full bottles there and lots of broken ones. I think when the old house burned in the 40’s they threw a lot of trash down the hill behind the house, I may have to look a little harder.

i put vinegar and water in mine

agreed. let it sit for a few hours or days depending on how patient you are. then drain a little more than half and add some kosher salt. give it a good shake, without dropping it or smacking the sink like i have before lol. it'll look brand new or close to it. nice find for sure. better than a slick bottle any day.

Thanks I’ll have to try the vinegar and salt, not sure I’ll be able to get any ice in there
