Hello Treasure Net!

New to the site! Glad to be here! I hope I am doing this right and I hope someone can help me figure out this bottle. The embossing on the front says “REGISTERED” on the top “LIBERTY & MURPHY FALL RIVER, MASS.” The back embossing says “THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD” on the bottom. The bottom says “MADE BY DEAN FOSTER & CO BOSTON” around the rim and has a “C-10” in the middle. It stands 9.5 inches tall and is aqua in color. Circa 1880...? I have searched for information but have found nothing similar. Any ideas, info, resources or comments are welcome!

Thanks for looking!

I looked at this for a while yesterday. I found nothing for Liberty & Murphy.

I did find a guy named C. C. Murphy who was president of the local Bottling Association in Fall River, Massachusetts around the turn of the 20th C.

You might check for a Fall River City Directory from around 1905 to see if the business name is listed.

Try posting it in the bottle forum. There’s a lot of very knowledgeable people there.

Thanks from Maine for the warm welcome and responses!

I am going to do some more digging about CC Murphy, the only Murphy I found was a John Murphy or John Murphy and Co. maybe I’ll try different years. I will post in the bottle forum too!

Thanks again!
