Need help dating a Ball L-9112 Glass Bottle

TomFawls

Hi.

I have a Ball bottle that is similar to a Heinz Ketchup bottle in design / style, but it does not have a threaded top and it has only the following Ball information:

- Ball Logo

- L-9112; and

- "6" (or a "9" if you turn it ?)

Any help dating this and any ideas what it might have been used for / filled with would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tom

And here are the photos I forgot to attach. ?

It is a ketchup bottle and may very well be Heinz

See this article, note the photo with comparative bottles over time. Yours with a crown top closure dates from 1906-1910

Wow! Thanks for the information, Chris. I was thinking maybe the 40s at the earliest...this is great news.

And thanks for the link...I've bookmarked it for future reference. :)
