Original Ceramic Early American Old Spice Bottle

An incredible amount of information regarding Old Spice bottles and Shulton can be found at Old Spice Collectibles.




Seam on both sides run to the lip of the bottle, cup-bottom mold.  Glass stopper on top.  This is the original ceramic Early American Old Spice bottle, manufactured by A.E. Hull Pottery Company in Crooksville, Ohio from 1938-1944.  After 1944, Shulton contracted T.C. Wheaton Glass Co. to manufacture their Old Spice bottles, from pottery glass rather than ceramic.

The base of this bottle features a small, circular indent in the very middle, as well as the obvious cup-bottom mold line.  There is a rectangular bit sticking out from the bottom.  Text circles the base, "EARLY AMERICAN OLD SPICE" with a small star following the word 'spice,' and then the "SHULTON, INC." logo.
