Early 1900s Horlickās Malted Milk Lavender Glass Bottle| Racine Wis. and Slough Bucks England
$20.00
There is a lot of history in this little Horlick Malted Milk Company bottle and one does wonder about the journeys it has gone on. It is an old bottle from the early 1900s that has turned lavender with exposure to sunlight over the years. It also has the residue that is often labeled āsick glassā and makes me think it was buried for some period of time. This milk bottle has lots of character and is perfect for the collector or someone that loves history. Or use it as an interesting home decor piece in your home, whether your style is shabby chic, farmhouse, country, man cave, bohemian, rustic, primitive or ????
āThe name of no productive industry of the United States is perhaps more widely known than that of the Horlick Malted Milk Company, the business of which has developed until it reaches all parts of the civilized world.ā
No noted chips or cracks.
