WM R. Warner bottle..

[BttleDiggerDrew]

I know in his hay day he produced some awesome bottles and he was a pioneer of sorts. I did find this bottle yesterday amongst the suicidal thicket of Barberry...I think by having his name on the bottle, makes it a keep for me..

And I can see the 'Owens Ring' on it's base which dates it post 1904. Probably dates to around 1910 plus or minus.

I believe that is the first Warner screw-top bottle that I've seen.

Here's an earlier one from another Warner:

I have a b.i.m. "WM.R. Warner & Co. Philadelphia" bottle that's cobalt blue and 7" tall. Harry is this the same company as your H.H. Warner & Co. bottle?

Could easily be a son that took over the company or may be no relation at all. Lots of info on the www because Warner bottles are widely collected.

Apparently, the two Warners were contemporaries and not related. The answer is expanded upon on this website:
