I knew they were common, but i didnt realize they were THAT common. Everyone on here is saying how they have tons of them. But they are 100 years old, we gotta just hold on to them i guess. Haha. i mean what else can we do with them? Thanks for stopping by!
@@antiquebottlestories That's the problem, there may be some real gems at a spot but I start to feel bad unearthing the hundreds I've got no interest in. This just brings the stuff to the surface of which now they get broken etc.
@@dtothej4044 I understand. What do you do with them? I have tons of slick meds, milk glass, etc that nobody wants, but these are basically fossils at this point. You cant just put them in the recycle bin! I guess thats why guys like Bruce (he watches the channel) just throws them back down a hole for someone else to find later.
@@antiquebottlestories I dont do anything with them. They just pile up if they are ones of no interest. Which is what I was referring to, all the unearthed bottles becomes quite the eye sore in the woods
Maybe offer the extras to other collectors, I don’t want more than 2 examples of each bottle I find, so my plan is to offer them to others that watch my videos that may want to enjoy them.
There were other Bay area bleach makers, that are found here in Hawaii. I have also found "Oakland Chemical Comp'y" was from Long Island, not California.. I can't recall the names precisely, but some end in "X"- that's how infringements roll. In an 1893 hole I've found "Stephens Gloucester Eng" bottles near identical to Lea & Perrins. In the hobby, bleach bottles are often put down as common, so I've resisted the urge to take them home, even the more unique ones, from 1920s plantation town tips.
Oh yeah there were lots of them that popped up after clorox got popular. Some even tried to use the same type of names. Like Klorox, or Chlorox. You know how copycats are.
Thanks, Brandy... I enjoyed the video. When I find a site with clorox bottles in it, there's usually dozens of them for some reason. It seems to be a product that if a household used it, then they used a lot of it.
That must be why one commentor, David Agner said he dug more than anyone would ever want. I have a couple of these same types of bottles with different names on them , but i havent looked into them. i think they mightve had hydrogen peroxide in them? Ill get to them one of these days. LOL
Now that I know my bottles not that old i may just toss it back in a hole..... Nah just kidding. For some reason I thought the old Clorox was a powder. My bottle is infested with granules. Thanks Brandy
As the liquid bleach evaporates it leaves a salt like granule behind, that is what you are seeing in your bottles, this tends to happen in a dryer environment when the product is not diluted, even in the new plastic bottles you can see this.
HOLA ESTOY INTERESADO EN SABER DE QUE FECHA ES LA BOTELLA DE CLOROX QUE TENGO YA QUE E BUSCADO Y NO SE TIENE SU TAPA DE ALUMINIO ORIGINAL.... SI ME BRINDAN LA INFORMACIÓN EN MI FACEBOOK YA QUE NO SOY MUY CIBERNÉTICO.... SI ES POSIBLE EN ESPAÑOL YA QUE NO SE INGLÉS MIL GRACIAS 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Una cosa que puedes intentar es mirar a lo largo del borde inferior de la botella. Hay una marca que parece un diamante dentro de un óvalo. a la derecha de eso debe haber un solo dígito. Si ves un 4, es de 1934, si es un 7, es de 1937, etc. Intente eso y vea si puede resolverlo.
Have you though about covering the vicks vapor story? The cobalt color changed during WWII because the cobalt supplies ran out during the war.
vicks story is around here somewhere. I do not remember coming across the story of the cobalt changing during the war though. Thats interesting.
Awesome history of this iconic company! I love Clorox bottles and can remember them from my early childhood. Thanks!💖
Thanks Cynthia!
I always learn something from your videos. Thx and happy 2021!
Thanks Charlie! You too!
Mine is a 32 oz 1933 Clorox bottle. It still has the cork that says Clorox on it.
Thanks for the video. I had no idea what year mine was.
Glad you stumbled on the channel! :)
Great video 👍 new Supporter to your channel 👍. I also collect Bottles. (Almost 45 years now) Oxol bleach Bottles look the same.
Thanks! I appreciate your support! Although i would keep doing this even if no one noticed, because i just love history. :)
AWESOME EPISODE, That cork top Clorox bottle is probably the bottle that i dig the most, Have boxes of them! Great stuff thanks for all the info!!
I knew they were common, but i didnt realize they were THAT common. Everyone on here is saying how they have tons of them. But they are 100 years old, we gotta just hold on to them i guess. Haha. i mean what else can we do with them? Thanks for stopping by!
I've got as many of those Clorox bottles big and small as any one person could want. They all are dug bottles though
Thats cool that you have a good dig spot though! But yeah, nobody needs that many bleach bottles Haha!

Hey, I don’t know if this is possible. Could you do one about the Sayman medicine company?
looks like it will be a fun one. ill put it in the mix. :)
That's fun.
Im glad you found the channel! :)
I don't think that's Mildred, I think that's Betty and Wilma.
Cool video, well done.
Thanks again Steve! Nice "meeting" you!

Interesting. I wonder if there was a powder form? Or someone just reused it for something else? Have a good one Bruce!

mire el video a las 6:41 para ver dónde está esta marca.
