Description
First up is the PHENIX Nurser baby bottle, a ribbed clear glass nursing bottle embossed with the brand name PHENIX and a circled number 1 on its body. The horizontal ribbing runs the full length of the bottle, giving it that satisfying old-world texture collectors go wild for. This charming little piece is a genuine relic from early 20th century infant care and displays beautifully. Condition shows light age-appropriate wear with no cracks noted.
Next is the OVALE NURSERY ribbed glass baby bottle, embossed with OVALE NURSER and circled numbers 2 and 3 marking the ounce graduations on its tapered body. It features the same classic horizontal ribbing and a graceful hourglass silhouette that makes it instantly recognizable to bottle collectors. A second view shows 4 OUNCES embossed near the neck, confirming its volume. Light surface grime consistent with age but structurally solid.
Rounding out the trio is the showstopper: a flat-sided one-pint whiskey or druggist bottle embossed J.B. SIMRALL DRUGGIST LEXINGTON KY on one panel, with FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE on another and ONE PINT on a third. The base is marked R-241 68 alongside a hexagonal F mark, dating manufacture to 1968. This vertically ribbed beauty is a fantastic piece of Kentucky pharmaceutical and Prohibition-era regulatory history.
