Embossed Hayner Whiskey Distillery Back Bar Bottle.

 

Embossed Back Bar Hayner Whiskey Bottle.

This embossed Hayner Whiskey bottle was found on the Treasure Coast.  It is a pre-prohibition bottle, meaning that it dates to pre-1920.  It is just over eleven inches tall.   You can see a bubble in the glass below the R in TROY.

There was a paper label between "HAYNER WHISKEY" and "DISTILLARY"

The bottom provides a lot of information.

Patent Date On Durkee Bottle.

Eugene R. Durkee – making spices and extracts in his basement at home – at 1850, and we have seen an advertisement for the firm as early as 1851 – the year given by most sources. The early ad noted that E.R. Durkee (no “& Co.”) was a “Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Drugs, Medicines, Perfumery, Brushes, Fancy Articles, Glassware, Congress Water, Leeches, Cigars, Pure Wines, Liquors, Oils, Camphene, Burning Fluid &c.” in Buffalo, New York. The only products specifically linked to his name were Durkee’s Venetian Liquid Hair Dye, Durkee’s Vermifuge, and Durkee’s Baking Powder (Matt’s Collectibles 2014) (Figure 1). Durkee developed his salad dressing during this period, probably in 1857, and won awards for it (Kovel 2010; Museum of the City of New York 1999:71)...

Bottom of Dr. Shoop's Medicines Bottle.

I was fortunate to find a lot of information on Dr. Shoop. Here is one paragraph from a much larger article on Dr. Shoop.

Dr. Shoop opened a medical practice in 1883 and by 1890 established a line of cure - all patent medicines which were sold door to door by agents. Dr. Shoop’s Family Medicine Co. was incorporated June 30, 1891, (Capital, $20,000) with Shoop, Jackson I. Case and Charles A. Corbitt as officers. Unable to find suitably large quarters Shoop had plans drawn for a new plant. A lot was purchased and the first three stories of the Shoop Building were completed in 1893, with three additional stories added in 1899 making it the tallest commercial building in Racine.

This is a larger Drug Company bottle.  It measures about 7.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide.

It has one big chip on the lip.

 

The crescent moon mark on the bottle is from an unidentified manufacturer.  Most bottles that bear this mark seem to be pharmacy or drug co. bottles.

Cobalt Blue Embossed Larvex Poison Bottle.

Embossed LARVEX Bottle.

 Larvex Corporation was a company which manufactured Spraying Larvex, a pest control product used in moth proofing woolen fabrics. The firm was acquired by Zonite Products Corporation in October 1926. Zonite added Rinsing Larvex to its line of products after the takeover was finalized. The pesticides were also referred to as Larvex liquid and cake.

Larvex Corporation continued as a subsidiary of Zonite Products Corporation until December 31, 1936. On this date Zonite Products Corporation informed the New York Stock Exchange that it was dissolving its six subsidiaries.

Bottom of the Larvex Bottle Showing
Maryland Glass Company Mark.

The circle M indicates the bottle was manufactured by the Maryland Glass Company.

Maryland Glass was acquired by the Dorsey Corporation in 1968, and I believe that the “M” mark was used for a time thereafter, but eventually discontinued sometime in the  1970s.

Small Brown Luyties Pharmacy Co. Bottle. St. Louis.

Small Luyties Pharmacy Bottle.

The Luyties Pharmacy bottle is just 2.5 inches tall, with a .75 by .75 inch square base. 

Here is what I found on Luyties.

His earliest knowledge of and training in business came to him through the Luyties Homeopathic Pharmacy Company, a business which was established in 1853 by his father, Dr. Luyties having been one of the earliest representatives of the school of homeopathy in the middle west, and in connection with his practice he established a pharmacy in order to supply homeopathic remedies to the trade.

Thoroughly acquainting himself with the business, Herman C. G. Luyties won promotion until he became vice president of the company and so continued until 1907, when he disposed of his interests...
