Food stuff

[gleaner1]

I keep any food bottles that catch me eye. Anyone up for some Leibigs genuine Beef Wine & Iron?
The Garton's HP sauce is a beautiful shade of light green. The Lea & Perrins is a quart, usually these come in a small size. For some reason I believe the Rumford's is food related but not sure.

Nice bottles! Rumford sure was food related. That bottle contained "Horsfords Acid Phosphate", a powdered mix that made a lemon-lime type of drink. They later became famous for Rumford Baking Powder. Here is some history on the company:

Beef wine Cool bottles

Here's a common food bottle. The molded stopper is hard rubber. The stopper has a skirt which snugged up to a cork gasket. I can only conclude that the cork gasket was applied somehow to the bottle, 'cause I can't see how the manufacturer could make it stick to the hard rubber skirt. This bottle dates to the early 1900s.

plehbah, I would not be surprised if it was for capers, but I really don't know.

I collect demijohns, so I couldn't resist buying this neat little figural salt-shaker. The perforated "cork" unscrews for filling. It is cast, I believe, in pewter.
