Chesebrough
probably first packaged Vaseline in glass
bottles ca. 1887. These pomade-style,
mouth-blown, wide-mouth bottles would
have been the initial containers.
The one-part finishes were made for corks. At some point, a label identifying the product was pasted onto the
top of the cork. Wilson & Wilson noted that “there were
probably 30 or more variants of the Vaseline pots made between 1887 and the turn of the century. . . . The stopper tops were made in automatic
bottle machines after the [turn of the century] for a number of years before screw tops were made.”
