How about that! Yes, be ashamed to erase that history.

That's first time I've ever seen that "relieves fatigue" line. I wonder what the date of this was.

It's estimated 1910!

Not really an ad, but since it's related to the last post...

This is a prototype of the original famous "hobble skirt" coke bottle from 1916. The prototype was slimmed down before going into production, as they tended to wobble and fall off the assembly line. Isn't that a cool looking design? :)

That is so neat! In an antique shop I used to frequent, there was a picture of glass bottles throughout the years. Some were so cool.
