Description: RARE 1927 ANTIQUE HORLICKS MALTED MILK SAMPLE SIZED GLASS BOTTLE W/ORIGINAL METAL LID RACINE, WI USA This bottle has been only in my Family since new. This Rare, Horlicks Malted Milk Bottle was used in the 1920s to offer customers a chance to sample for Free their delicious Malted Milk product. This bottle is dated 1927, because of the Horlick’s embossing twice around the shoulder of the bottle, begun in 1927, and the early Metal Lid Embossed HORLICK’S with Lines Above and Below which was only used until 1927. It is their Oldest Style of Lid, initially produced prior to 1908 according to the wonderfully complete Society for Historical Archaeology PDF on Horlick’s Bottles and pictured in their “figure 60” in the article. Wanting to properly identify this bottle I contacted the Society for Historical Archaeology, with pictures, and they graciously investigated but could not confirm the dating because of the unusual markings on the bottom that they had not previously seen. The bottom markings contained an A over H over 11 (see photo). They said “it may be the missing link” when the Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. produced a “New Look” for Horlick’s bottles, and will note whenever they revise the Horlick’s Study. I am not a bottle collector so leave it to you to decide and suggest you refer to the excellent PDF offered by SHA on the subject of Horlick’s bottles. This bottle is a true piece of the history of this iconic company and a must have for any collector.
