Description

The listing, ⭐️ Antique Glass Bottle ⭐️ has ended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Antique glass bottle of Airosol brand Insect Repellant. There's even some still in it. The bottle could use a little cleaning but I'm not touching it because I don't want to damage the label.

This belonged to my grandfather who passed several years ago. I do not know any other information about this item.

You must have a Listia verified address to win this, otherwise I'm keeping the credits and relisting the item.

No refunds for buyers remorse.

Please do not advertise on my auctions.

This item has free shipping so please take that into consideration when bidding.

Thanks for stopping by!

Questions & Comments

this is a 1968 insect repellent bottle manufactured for the U.S. Army to repel insects and leeches. Airosol Incorporated was established and funded by the U.S Government in 1943 only to make insecticide for the Army during WWII but in 1949 a man by the name of John Mathews bought the company and renamed it Airosol Company Inc.... hope this helps

So this could have been made for soldiers in Vietnam?

Hello! Is there, by chance, a date on the label? F/W

Jan 2nd, 2014 at 11:43:02 AM PST by

Nope, not that I can tell. I'll look it over one more time just to make sure.

Jan 3rd, 2014 at 6:21:43 AM PST by

I hope you do realize that you cant send this through the mail unless its empty?

Jan 2nd, 2014 at 6:14:04 PM PST by

Yep. :)

I'm not an expert, however, there are a few things I can tell you about this bottle, just from the bottom of it. I don't know anything about the contents of the bottle. However, on the bottom, 7 is the series number of the bottle. Then, it says, "2 OZ." That is in agreement with the front of the label, in that the bottle held two fluid ounces of whatever is or was in it. (People also used-to re-purpose bottles back in the day; so, could possibly even be moonshine!) Anyway, the bottle originally held two fluid ounces of liquid. I'm not sure about the 9. It could easily be the month or something to do with the year that the BOTTLE was MADE.-That is not to say, that is when the bottle was filled. That would be anybody's guess.

Have a great day and fun with this auction. I am always glad to share what I know. -EJ =D

Jan 6th, 2014 at 12:35:23 PM PST by

There's pictures posted with it beside a twenty. It's three inches and three quarters of an inch tall. It's two inches wide and one inch deep. :)

anything to help with your auction. :) but u are most welcome. when it comes to history. I'm good but science and all that other junk gives me a headache lol

Jan 9th, 2014 at 2:48:44 PM PST by

Yes there is a high possibility. The Vietnam War started in 1954 and didn't end till 1975. so most likely yes..

Jan 9th, 2014 at 9:58:28 AM PST by

Jan 9th, 2014 at 2:47:17 PM PST by

and ej_the_dj is correct about the numbers on the bottom. the 9 is for the month.

Jan 9th, 2014 at 3:02:10 AM PST by

F&W also Great Auction
yep ej pretty much nailed it :) probably a 1969 or 59 the cap is the kind most used in those era's that i have found. some 70's but looks at least a bit older than 79 :)

I would have liked it for my pharmacist, he had collection of old meds, n antique bottles,

Jan 4th, 2014 at 2:17:54 PM PST by

Most pharmacists too, at least around here anyway. I'm sure he or she would love it. :)

Jan 5th, 2014 at 5:09:57 AM PST by

It's older than you think. There's no zip code and it has a metal cap. I think it's 1920s. Nice bottle.

Jan 3rd, 2014 at 9:59:17 PM PST by

Thanks for the info! I'm clueless. I just know it's old and has had one owner lol.

from what I can see in the pic it looks like the year 67 other two numbers should be month n day

Jan 3rd, 2014 at 11:50:27 AM PST by

I'll have to check but I don't think that's a date.

Jan 5th, 2014 at 5:08:36 AM PST by
