This bottle was manufactured in 1954 and donated alongside an accompanying note which implies it was a free school milk bottle given to a girl in Grade 2 in that year. In 2018 it was shown to the original recipient's grandchild, who wrote the accompanying note, before both were likely donated to us. The year of manufacture can be determined from the '4' by the Australian Glass Manufacturers maker's mark; the context indicates the bottle is from the 1950s, while the 4 indicates it is from a year ending with 4. The free school milk program for children up to 13 was established by the Federal Government in 1950 and implemented in Victoria by 1951. This was not the first free milk program - for example, Victoria had a winter-only program for a time - but was the first to standardise it across Australia. The program continued for two decades until a 1973 report assessed that the program was poor value for money, causing the Whitlam government to abolish it. In the words of Australian Food Timeline: "Recollections of the scheme vary. While some remember it fondly, most seem to have unpleasant memories of milk left to become warm and unappetising. Many claim it put them off milk forever. Personally, I would rank the abolition of school milk as one of the crowning achievements of the Whitlam government."The free milk program in many ways seems to be a remnant of a time where Australian nutrition policy aimed to counter hunger and maximise caloric intake rather than minimise it. This bottle and its accompanying note is an example of how much nutrition policy and educational standards has changed since the 1950s.This item was donated with a printed note which has been included in its record. This main item is a small glass milk bottle with a thread for a screw-on lid (not included). For a little over half its heigh, the walls of the bottle are vertical, before they curve inwards to make the top slightly narrower than the base. The base is stipled, and near the base is a makers mark and a pattern of dots denoting the mould from which the bottle was formed. The printed note is two pages, stapled in the top-left corner, with page numbers handwritten in red in the top right.Bottle, Makers Marking: "4 [Australian Glass Manufacturers Logo] M10357" Accompanying Note: Page 1: "I interviewed my Grandma about when she was in / Grade 1 in 1953 and how school has changed to / now in 2018. / That is 65 years difference."

Cottee's is a longstanding Australian food and beverage brand, in operation in the dairy industry since the early 20th century. Passiona - a sparkling passionfruit drink - has been produced by the company for almost as long, after being invented by Spencer Cottee in the earlier 1920s and fully introduced to markets by 1927. The "authorised bottlers" mentioned on the label included a number of now defunct Australian bottlers from across the nation. Applied Colour Labels were in heavy use from the mid-1930s. Based on the makers mark, this bottle was manufactured in 1938 by Australian Glass Manufacturers (AGM).This is an older style of bottle that is no longer in use, creating a useful record of past manufacturing and style preferences. This item is a large 32 fluid ounce (~950 ml) glass bottle adorned with nutritional advice and Cottee's labelling. The glass forms a cylinder for half of the bottle's height, where it is joined to the upper part of the bottle which curves inward to a screw top. In the upper half of the bottle, there is an approximately 52 millimetre high strip with a textured relief pattern of small ovals, arranged to circumnavigate the bottle. Writing on the sides is in white Applied Colour Label - although it is possible the original colour may have faded. The writing at the bottom of the bottle is in relief.Reverse: High: "PLEASE RETURN THIS BOTTLE / AND RECEIVE YOUR REFUND" Mid: "Cottee's / TRADE MARK REG'D. / BOTTLED BY / PASSIONA BOTTLING COMPANIES / AND AUTHORISED BOTTLERS / PRESERVATIVE ADDED.

This glass ginger beer bottle was manufactured and used early to late 1900's, until the time that cheaper containers were invented(plastic bottles). This bottle was so constructed to be easily moved within the ginger beer processing plants from the brewing vats/holding tanks to the final corking/sealing of the bottles for eventual distribution. From 1990s the bottle slowly became phased out of production however boutique suppliers still preferred thick glass to contain any explosive action. Two major glass bottle works companies, e.g. Australian Glass Manufacturers and the Melbourne Glass Bottle Works Co. were the main suppliers for the Victorian State.In the period when this bottle was manufactured and used the major ginger beer brewing plants for the whole of Victoria were located in Melbourne because this was where its greatest consumer base was there and most rural areas were supplied by domestic sources (mother brewing ginger beer for the children). The Kiewa Valley and its region was one rural area which until road invrastructure was enhance covered the ginger beer thirst by local family production. As the population expanded considerably in the late 1940's (SECV Hydro Scheme) with a greater demand for "soft" drinks" being established supplies from larger towns and cities were call for. Each bottle was "branded" during manufacturing to show the contents were from a reputable supplier (PHIBBS Bros) and where it originated from. These bottles were recycled by the manufacturer as a way to cut production costs. This method of recycling the bottles back to the specific manufacturer has (except for South Australia)been overtaken by a no cost recycling collection by councils (funded by their communities). This method by passes the user cost principle as the bottles are processed as non generic. The uneconomical "on cost" which was replaced by the "throw away" less costly plastic containers however did not provide the keen domestic brewer of the "beer" with a reusable bottle.This heavy gauged glass bottle (Ginger Beer) has a rim and a distinctive head at the top. This head has been manufactured to facilitate the movement of the bottled along the production line. The method of pouring ginger beer into the bottle has been part of the "production line" process of automation. This bottle has a capacity to hold 250ml of ginger beer and is made from "clear" glass. The marority of ginger beer bottles produced in this time frame where made with a "green" tint in them.This tinting helped reduce the sunlight effecting the contentsAround the bottom side of the bottle and blown into the glass is "THIS BOTTLE IS THE PROPERTY OF PHIBBS BROS, ALBURY" above this, in "running script" and sloping up from left to right is "Phibbs Bros" and underneath parallel to it "ALBURY". On the base of the bottle is molded a big "L 289" underneath this "M" and below this "AGM".ginger beer bottle, soft drink bottles, cordial bottles

Sigma Co. Ltd. (now known as Sigma Healthcare) was founded in 1912 by Melbourne Pharmacists Edwin Church and Ernest Leete and has since grown to become one of Australia's leading pharmaceutical retailers. Initially driven by the high prices of wholesale drugs and medicines, Church and Leete established Sigma as a manufacturer of medicinal products which could be sold only to paying subscribers. In 1913, it was decided that Sigma would open its markets to non-member pharmacies and retailers, although WWI caused production to falter. Over the following decade, the company grew, resulting in a restructuring in 1927 and the acquisition of small chemist manufacturing firm, Tromax Co. Ltd., who were struggling financially. For centuries, camphor has been used a folk medicine, likely used as a decongestant as well as a treatment for sprains and inflammation. In the 1900s, camphor was used as an analeptic by injection and was also used to induce seizures in schizophrenic patients in an attempt to cure psychosis. Camphorated oil, as was once present in this bottle, was composed of 20% camphor in cottonseed oil. It was rubbed into the skin as a topical medicine to treat itching from minor skin irritation. In 1947, a competitor's 1 oz. bottle of Camphorated oil was sold at a maximum of 8 dimes. The makers mark indicates that this bottle was manufactured in 1935 by Australian Glass Manufacturers (AGM).This item is an excellent example of a popular household medication used for common ailments such as itching and skin irritation. It was sold for use over a wide area of Melbourne and beyond, aiding inhabitants of the local area.This item is a truncated triangular glass bottle with a rusted metal lid attached. A primarily yellow label with red and blue details wraps around the front three faces of the bottle, displaying use instructions and warnings. On the rear of the bottle are two grids containing thirty crosses each and embossed text. There is also embossed text on the base. Inside the bottle, some liquid and solid residue remains.

This bottle comes from the chemist’s business in Timor Street Warrnambool of R.F.Kennedy & Co. Richard Frank Kennedy came to Warrnambool in 1880 and established a retail, wholesale and manufacturing business in Timor Street. The business was described in the 1904 ‘Cyclopedia of Victoria’ as the largest and best-appointed pharmacy in Victoria. Kennedy was prominent in community affairs in Warrnambool, being a Town Councillor, a Justice of the Peace, and on the committees of the Warrnambool Hospital and the Mechanics Institute and Art Gallery. He was the first Vice-President and fourth President of the Warrnambool Bowls Club. After Kennedy’s death in 1903 the pharmacy business continued as a company and this bottle comes from that time. The Kennedy chemist bottles were well-known for their lighthouse logo (Warrnambool having two operating lighthouses during the company’s time, with these still operating today).This bottle is significant as an example of a chemist’s bottle from R.F. Kennedy & Co. This pharmacy was a dominant business in Timor Street, Warrnambool for over 40 years. This is a small clear glass bottle with a rectangular-shaped body with rounded sides, a small neck and a moulded open top. The stopper is missing. The chemist’s name and a lighthouse logo are etched into the side of the bottle. ‘R.F. Kennedy & Co Chemists Warrnambool’ ‘M297 AGM’ r.f. kennedy, warrnambool chemist, history of warrnambool
