Bottle age

[YoungBlood]

Need to know the bottle age because I'm trying to confirm the age of an archaeological dig I'm doing. I think I know the age but need to know for sure.
It's a cork top bottle an the mold goes barely half way up the neck.
The bottle reads
top...
OMEGA OIL IT'S GREEN
TRADE MARK
bottom...
THE OMEGA CHEMICAL CO. NEW YORK
12

I will post the pics later.

Josh has it right on the nose. Cecil Munsey has an excellent history here: Cecil Munsey - Research & Writings of Interest To Collectors and Historians - Downloads They had a near 100 year run.

Thanks, but Is it possible for a close date

1890-1910 is about right for that variant...

Thanks! Is the bottle common?

Yes, sir, it is quite common. Were you having a 'Blue Light Special' with that one?

 

[YoungBlood]

It was hard to see the embossing on the bottle so I use a blue light to bring out the words and details.
