Description

The listing, 1 Of A Kind Vintage Handmade Wishbone Bottle 1953/69? has ended.

I found this at am estate sale about a month ago. That whole time I have been trying to figure out if Wishbone actually made these. I have come to the conclusion that this was handmade and is 1 of a kind. Whoever made this did a really good job. It is golden color with beautiful religious picture. There is no cap to this bottle but wishbone dressing is still sold today. So I am pretty sure a cap shouldn't be too hard to come by. Age has darkened the golden color in some spots, but mostly on the back. Honestly I think the coloring adds to the beauty of the bottle. Just like patina does on copper. I think it would make a nice bud vase as well. The bottom of bottle says wishbone *15 AHK 69. After researching a bit AHK i believe stands for Alexander H Kerr who invented the screw off bottle cap for this bottle. I think 69 might mean the bottle was made in 1969. Also DES PAT 169344. Which is a design patent number and that patent number was issued in 1953.

Thank you so much!! I wish I could take credit for making it, but I can't. This was made before I was even born.

Yes they are great but no cap needed for flowers, a cooking spoon or utensil turned upside down while u set it down so it and the counter don't get dirty and also for incense to burn in :-) and now they have the fragrance oil sticks that'd fit too! Beauty. Pure beauty.

Oh my gosh! I love the idea about the incense sticks. This bottle would be perfect for those. Just put some oil in the bottle and the. The sticks. Maybe when I go to estate sales today I will find some sticks to add to this auction. Such a great idea!!
