I found this bleach bottle at a gs today. Appears to be 1/2 gal. Imbossed with Blecho Co on both sides and bottom. Also on bottom is 3443. Could find nothing on ebay or google on this name. The bottle also has part of the lable still attached. On closer examination I found reference to Cloe's bleach. Google gave me several grocery store ads from the 30's and 40's. Avg price about $0.10 a gal.

I've heard bleach bottles don't bring much money (to many made) but its still a piece of history.

Rare or common its cool. I have several in my collection and can't pass one by when I see it. I drank some bleach when I was a kid, maybe that has something to do with it.
 

That's a good price for a chlorine bottle must be one of the better ones.
I have been a bottle collector most of my life. When I was 4 I asked if I could have the aspirin bottle and was told I could when it was empty. Well that night after my mom went to work my big sister took her eyes off of me for a couple of minutes. I snuck into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. Up on the toilet I went and over to the sink. I opened the medicine cabinet and proceeded to eat that bottle of aspirin and 3 others just like it. My big brother had to break the window to get in because I wouldn't unlock the door. That was the only ambulance trip I have ever taken in my life. I can still see those little pink pills coming up the clear tube as they pumped my stomach. According to my sister with as much harmful stuff that I ate or drank I shouldn't have survived my childhood. lol
