This small clear glass bottle once held 3 fluid ounces of W. T. Rawleigh's Extract of Orange, a flavoring used for pies, cakes, and ice cream in turn-of-the-century American kitchens — now empty and displayed here with its original label intact.
Maker: W T Rawleigh Co
Materials: Molded glass with light smoky grey tone, original paper label, cork closure
Dimensions: Approx. 6.5" tall, 2.75" wide, 1.5" deep; held 3 oz
Origin: USA
Era: Antique, 1895–early 1900s (estimated)
Condition: Very good antique condition. No chips or scratches; a smooth divot on the rim is a manufacturing flaw, not damage. Original label in very good condition with light discoloration and minimal damage, consistent with age. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Would make a nice gift for a bottle collector, a history buff, or for display in a kitchen — a lovely addition to a windowsill collection or repurposed as a small bud vase.
The bottle is molded with two visible seams, a cork-style closure, and embossed "44" on the base — details that, along with Rawleigh's known history of producing these extracts, help place its production around 1895 to the early 1900s, though as with any dating estimate we encourage collectors to do their own research if precision matters.
