Antique Hires Root Beer Household Extract Bottle, Charles E. Hires Co.

A charming antique clear glass bottle from the Charles E. Hires Co., embossed with 'HIRES HOUSEHOLD EXTRACT' and 'FOR HOME USE' and 'MANUFACTURED BY CHARLES E. HIRES CO.' The bottle features a classic rectangular shape with softly rounded corners and a wide rolled lip opening. The glass is free of cracks and chips, displaying the lovely light aqua-clear tint typical of early machine or hand-finished bottles. Some interior haze and minor surface dirt are present consistent with age and storage. Air bubbles visible in the glass add to its authentic antique character. Approximate height is 4.5 to 5 inches. A great piece for bottle collectors, advertising memorabilia enthusiasts, or vintage kitchen display.
