Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil Bottles.
These two bottles contained the world famous Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil With Lime and Soda. They both have the great embossed logo of a fisherman carrying a large cod on his back. These bottles are quite common but I still love that logo! Scott's Emulsion was the brainchild of Alfred B. Scott and Samuel W. Browne. They started making this concotion in 1876 in New York City. The tall bottle measures some 9 1/2" and the smaller one 7 1/2".
I have the square bottle which doesn't have a pic of the fisherman. Can anyone give me an idea of the date of this bottle?

ReplyDeleteBest to check google for that. There also used to be a good magazine called the Old Bottle Journal. They are pretty hard to find though. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI have one of the 9.5" tall Scott's Emulsion with the fisherman on it. The lid is intact and I have been unable to get it off to clean the inside, but it is in very good condition. Any idea on it's value?
