Description

9 (nine) 1940s Owens-Illinois 2.5” square medicine dropper bottle (no lids) This lot is for nine glass bottles, various colors ( the photo in the listing with all colors is just the example ). These are very tiny glass screw top bottles (measurements below), all of the rubber droppers hardened so we removed them and are selling ONLY the empty glass bottles – no lids, no droppers. All were dipped in paint, either red, blue or silver, which is slowly coming off all bottles. We removed (easily) the paint from two bottles (red and blue) for listing example photos, buyer will be responsible for removing/cleaning any paint from bottles. The silver paint appears to be more intact and may be harder to remove. Most are red, if you have a preference and we still have other colors available, please send a message with that request before purchasing, otherwise you will receive NINE random color bottles . All have been stored loosely in a box, there may be dings, scuffs and dust from storage. All paint seems to be rubbed/flaking off to some degree. APPROXIMATELY (measurements are as close as possible but may be slightly different : 1 tbsp. / .5 oz / 15 ml 7/8” square base 2.5” tall 3/16” diameter opening .5” threaded top Bottom Mark: Diamond/oval/I trademark: 12 (left) / 4 (right) / xx (below – varies) Owens-Illinois Glass Company – 1929-1950 Plant code #12 to the left of the trademark was Gas City, Indiana, and the #4 to the right of the trademark indicates it was most likely created in the 1940s. The bottom number would be the mold or serial number and this number varies throughout the bottles. These are very old and sold as-is, buyer is responsible for any cleaning/restoration/repair if needed.
