Brown Embossed Lysol Cork Top Bottle.


Brown Embossed Lysol Bottle.

This bottle has Lysol in script repeated four times around the shoulder of the bottle.


Bown Lysol Bottle Bottom.

Around the bottom outside reads: LYSOL INCORPORATED    BLOOMFIELD N.J.

Inside that is: BOTTLE MADE IN USA.

In the center is a triangle with something within.  I could be the WT mark, but is too faint to make out for sure.


The first-ever Lysol antiseptic disinfectant was made in 1889 by Gustav Raupenstrauch. It was created in order to end the cholera epidemic in Germany, where it was causing huge destruction. Next time, the product was advertised by Lehn & Fink in 1918 during the Spanish flu pandemic. It was advertised as an effective product for fighting the influenza virus.


Here is another bottle, that to me looks like it might be older.




Finally, Lysol was introduced to hospitals and drug stores in 1930, and around 1962 the company began manufacturing the Lysol disinfectant spray.

NuJol Embossed Quack Cure Bottle.

 

NyJol Bottle.

Nujol is in infamous quack remedy created in 1850 by "Old Bill" Rockefeller, father of John D. Rockefeller. The elder Rockefeller was the definition of "snake oil" salesman, claiming Nujol, which was made from pure petroleum, as a cure for everything from Cancer to constipation. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil company continued offering the cure-all for sale up to the time of World War II.

The bottle has an H on the bottom, which could indicate one of numerous glass makers.  More research is needed.
