Title: Brown glass Javex Bottle -- Maybe Dominion Glass ??
Post by: antiquerose123 on February 26, 2008, 09:13:21 PM: Hi, I just purchased this at a thrift store for .49 cents. I think it might be dominion glass with the D in the triangle, but not sure, and can anyone tell the age of this at all....I sure do not remember these -- so before my time (or not ??). TIA for any answers. Was dominion glass just Canada? Also, what do all the marks mean on the base, like how do you read it. It seems to be in really good condition. Do you put these kind of marks at all in the gallery? Thanks again. ;)

I guess the .49 cents I paid for it was OK...lol.

So does anywhere on the bottom tell what year it was from? Or do you know? TIA

This was made at the Dominion Glass Redcliff factory in September/October of either 1950 or 1960.

Hi Rose, I see no reason why we shouldn't do. I think we should have a separate album for bottle marks as they are a different area of glass collecting, but as a glass board we cover all types of glass usage. New album here: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/thumbnails.php?album=608 - please add your bottom to is (as it were!) :o

Post by: Today_M on August 04, 2010, 05:41:30 PM: Hi. I hope I can help a little if it's not too late. This is a bottle made by Dominion Glass Co. Dominion Glass is a canadian glass company, it was formed from a bunch of different glass companys, like the Diamond Flint Glass Co. and others. The D inside the diamond trademark started being used on the bottoms probly around 1928, (that's when the trade mark was registerd anyway) before that the most common marks were only mould numbers and marks. The D in the diamond was used till 1970 when it was replace with a kinda bottle mould style D with the top open and the shape of a bottle in the middle. Dominion changed the name to Domglas Ltd. around 1976-78. And as far as I know thay are still operating although alot of plants have been closed.
This bottle in the picture was made at the Redcliff, Alberta. The dot at the bottle of the Trademark is the Redcliff plant. The box to the left of it is the month date code, this one is Sept/Oct. And the 0 on the right is the year, this one is 1960. The number 4 above Javex is the mould style number.
Also a note - the box system used for the month wasn't used till 1953 and it is still used today. Before that letters were used, A to F, this was used from around 1941 to 1953.
Also - Although Dominion changed the trademark in 1970, the D in the diamond was occasionally used on some bottles up to 1980 ish.

Sorry for rambling on, I just found it hard to find any info when I was looking for it. So if I can help some one a little thats good.

Post by: antiquerose123 on August 04, 2010, 06:28:58 PM: Thank you Today_M, and Welcome to the Board :rah:

A fellow Canadian (??) I take it - with so much good knowledge on the topic. That is Super!! I still have the bottle here along with many other things that have the D mark. Good to know what everything means as to dating these. As you said, quote: I just found it hard to find any info when I was looking for it. So if I can help some one a little thats good. You are totally right......hard to find a lot of things to do with Canadian glass stuff -- but with the net I think it shows that people are wanting to know this stuff. *Obviously, people are collectors all over the board, and trying to figure out family heirlooms, and something they had/wanted as a child. If this were not the case, then E-bay would not be a multi-million dollar business.* (IMHO) So people want to know/look/be informed as to what they buy, or collect.....as I wanted to know the date/year of this Javex glass bottle.

That is why Glass Boards like this are so important, and the info each member can bring!!!

Thank you so very much, and look forward to all your future contributions here on the Board!!

Again Welcome :rah:

Hi and Welcome :rah: :rah:

From what I know, this bottle is a Javex Bottle, that was made by DOMINION GLASS in Canada. The *D* in the diamond shape is the trademark for them. Not sure of the date, as I am learning too. I note that yours does not have a dot at the bottom, and a different shaped box on the left.....

Where did you find this bottle? Where was the Beach? It is an older bottle....with the amber color.

Thanks - look forward to hearing the rest of your bottle story !! :) :clap:

Oh the mystery the Oceans can carry for glass......

Post by: BeachGlassLove on January 06, 2011, 01:51:55 AM: Hi, I found it in Nova Scotia, on the shores of Baie Ste Maire near an old dump site. The number in the top of the trademark is a 1. No dot on the bottom... Any help is much appreciated!
Title: Re: Brown glass Javex Bottle -- Maybe Dominion Glass ??
Post by: Sid on January 06, 2011, 02:19:39 AM: Hello

Based on Tom King's Glass in Canada, your bottle was made in July/August (the square to the left of the diamond) in either 1958 or 1968. Without the dot that Rose refered to, we can't tell what factory made your bottle.

Post by: bcsanle on October 03, 2015, 09:55:53 PM: Hi, I have a similar bottom of a Javex bottle but with different marking. On top it has the number 4, then the next line it says Javex, bottom of that it says Trade mark, then the next line it has on the left a square with 4 small square in it, in the middle it has a triangle with a C inside and on the right it has the number 1. Can someone help to try to identify this one. Sorry took a couple of pictures but the files but its telling me the file is too big.

Your bottle was produced by Consumers Glass at their plant in Ville de Pierre, QC.

[Mod: Info about the month and year of manufacture has been removed on request of Sid, in light of revised detail - please see later posts about the "C in a triangle".]

Post by: bcsanle on October 11, 2015, 02:01:16 AM: HI,

Thanks for your answer. So they still made glass Javex bottles in the 1970's??

Post by: Sid on October 12, 2015, 02:19:02 AM: Sandra

Good question, I really don't know when Javex glass bottles were removed from the product line - Chlorox apparently converted to plastic in 1962.

Is the triangle on your bottle pointing up or down? I assumed up but if down, then it is earlier than 1962. A photo would be very helpful. If you search the main forum, you should be able to find instructions on file size limitations.

Post by: Sid on October 13, 2015, 01:09:49 AM: Sandra

Your bottle was made by Consumers Glass in November/December in a year ending with a 1 before 1962 i.e. 1961, 1951, etc. Consumers used a trademark of a C in an inverted triangle prior to 1962 and a C in a triangle after 1962. My apologies for my earlier assumption concerning the configuration of the trademark.

[Mod: The above detail is a correction to information given in an earlier post - and which has now been removed]

Title: Re: Brown glass Javex Bottle -- Maybe Dominion Glass ??
Post by: Sid on October 14, 2015, 04:14:00 PM: Hello:

For further clarity:

In 1962, Consumers Glass changed their trade mark to a C in a triangle. Prior to 1962, they used a C in an inverted triangle.

Post by: PEIslander on April 16, 2017, 07:48:32 PM: Hello all!
I was transplanting a tree on our property today and dug up an old Javex bottle. It's 16oz and on the bottom it has the large diamond.
Inside the diamond on the first row is a "7" which I suspect is the mold number. Next line is "JAVEX". Under that is "TRADEMARK" and finally below that is an upside down triangle. From what I've read on this thread this is a pre-1928 jar? Any idea exactly what year it would be from?
Thanks
Todd
