Description: This beautiful aqua colored bottle measures approximately 7 in tall x 2 1/4 diameter and is embossed on both sides: Front: OTTO BRANDT 287 WASHINGTON ST NEWARK N.J,; Back: TRADE MARK OB "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD." Base has "Pat 85 OB" embossed. This bottle is an estate item from my mother's antique bottle collection; she enjoyed her special finds from bottle digs and was an active antique hunter and trader with a special focus on vintage glass items. I have several other antique bottles listed; for buyers making multiple purchases, I will package the items together and refund the difference between postage paid and the actual postage cost.b50 If you are interested in the history of the bottle, there were three Brandt Brothers who were bottlers in Newark. Otto Brandt bottled soda and mineral water from the late 1800's to 1910. Albert Brandt had a bottling plant on Broad Street. Conrad Brandt's bottling plant was at 37 William Street from 1879 to 1883.
