1920s E.R. Durkee & Co., New York Bottle

Nice bottle with no chips or cracks.
Approximately 6 ⅝” tall and 2.5” wide at the bottom. No chips or cracks.
Around the base is embossed: E.R. Durkee & Co., New York
Embossed on bottom is “Bottle Patented April 17, 1877” Note the ‘feathered scar’ on the bottom
There is a tiny bit of rust on the inside bottom.

Based on the ‘feathered scar’ on the bottom, I believe this bottle was made somewhere between 1910-1929. See excerpt from https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/ERDurkee&Co.pdf
“The next, much more common variation was embossed “E.R. DURKEE & CO. / SALAD DRESSING / NEW YORK” vertically on the side of the bottle, read with the finish pointing to the left (Figure 24). The base was embossed “BOTTLE PATENTED (arch) / APRIL 17 1877 (inverted arch)” around an British pottery mark (Figure 25). These “pottery marks” looked like a slightly rotated square or a baseball diamond with a cap on top. Each corner had a number or letter: 31 at the top, L at the right, R at the bottom, and 16 to the left. …The final technique was the use of the Owens machine, leaving the distinctive feathered scar (Figure 27). These were probably not made until the ca. 1908-1910 period, and the bottle appeared in a 1928 ad, so these were certainly used until the sale to Glidden in 1929.”

Most items in my shop are vintage and are not brand new and come from estate sales. The items may show minor age-related wear and/or minor flaws consistent with the date of manufacture (please be sure to check photos carefully as they are part of the description). I do my best to describe any imperfections. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
