Antique “Hires Household Extract” Embossed Clear Aqua Glass Bottle! (Philadelphia) Up for auction is an Antique “Hires Household Extract” Embossed Glass Bottle! This is a vintage pale aqua clear glass bottle made for a cork stopper top. Hires sold root beer and ginger ale extracts in these bottles for home use back in the early 1900s! The bottle is embossed “Hires Household Extract … For Home Use … Manufactured by The Charles E. Hires Co. … Philadelphia, Pa. USA” on its four sides. It is a 3 ounce bottle measuring about 4½” tall x 1½” wide. As shown in the photos, the bottle is in very good condition for its age with nice color and sharp details. There is very little surface wear and very few (if any) manufacturing flaws. I did not see any cracks or chips in the bottle, and it is clean with a little residue inside.

Almost all items are vintage: they were purchased at estate sales/auctions, yard/garage sales or flea markets, and are sold “as found”; the history of previous ownership and storage conditions of the items is unknown, and I have no idea if a previous owner smoked or had pets. I do not accept returned items simply because you’ve changed your mind. Shipping & Handling charges are not refundable. Attention International Customers: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s Customs Office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” since US and international government regulations prohibit such behavior.
