I found this bottle while walking along the Barnegat bay. Tried looking it up but came up empty. It says l. Rokeach $ sons inc. oil refiners Brooklyn NY with what looks like a crown and the Star of David. Please help

Couple on ebay right now. Not much else coming up on Bing search though.
 

I'm wondering if the bottle contained liquid soap, salad oil, or schmaltz…


The company is still in business, and a major producer of Kosher foods.

This past week I found a bottle exactly like yours, being an avocational archeologist I did some analysis and research on the bottle. It's manufacture dated between 1905 and 1930. Subsequent research found that Isreal Rokeach came to America around 1890 and established a soap business that eventually grew into a large company that marketed several Kosher food products for Jewish consumption. One of these products was bottled peanut oil. Additional research showed that the company moved to Brooklyn in 1929 on Wythe Avenue. If you do a web query on just I.ROKEACH & SONS you'll be able to find a short corporate history.
