HISTORY OF DOCTOR PRICE'S DELICIOUS FLAVORING EXTRACTS
Dr. Vincent Clarence Price was born in Troy, New York in 1832. In the fall of 1853, the young druggist moved to Buffalo to study homeopathic medicine and chemistry. He graduated from New York College with an M.D. in pharmaceutical chemistry.
He began experimenting with chemical formulas in an attempt to help his mother's neighborhood—renowned biscuits to rise more perfectly. In the process he invented baking powder. After patenting his invention, Vincent C., like so many nineteenth—century Americans, set out to find prosperity in the West. In 1861, he moved his young family to Waukegan, Illinois.
Dr. Price became a household name and his baking powder was sold across the country. His success led him to conduct other food experiments; soon he introduced cornstarch for culinary uses, patented the first fruit and herb flavoring extracts as well as vegetable colorings, manufactured breakfast foods, and even published popular cookbooks. NOTE: The well—known movie actor, Vincent Price was the grandson of Dr. V.C. Price.
HISTORY OF THE BOTTLE ANATOMY
The bottle has a slight ridescence to the otherwise clear glass. The bottle was manufactured by Owens—Illinois Glass Manufacturing CO. as evidenced by the " Blake" base profile (visible in picture 2). The embossed number and symbols were molded onto the base of the bottle for a variety of glassmaker determined reasons. The horizontal number 8 indicates the date. The number 6 indicates the Charleston, West Virginia Plant. This plant was operational from 1930—1963. The few screw threads indicate this bottle was most likely manufactured during the period of 1930—1940.
The "Arrow" panel is embossed with the wording " DR PRICE'S DELICIOUS FLAVORING EXTRACTS PAT. APPL'D FOR". The body and sloping shoulders contain tool manufactured seams stopping and the neck. The finish indicates the bottle was screw capped covering a wide mouth external thread.
The bottle height is 5 5/8 inches, the width is 2 inches and the depth is 7/8 of an inch. The bore measures .614 of an inch.
