About this product
This Le Page's Gold Medal Mucilage bottle, dating from the 1890s, is an antique piece with a shoulder design, appearing as an ink-shaped glue bottle. Originating from the United States, it features a light pink hue. Classified as an antique (Pre-1900), it's a collector's item due to its age and historical context as an early adhesive container.
Our take
For collectors of pre-1900 Americana, this Le Page's Gold Medal Mucilage bottle is a charming find. While described as an 'ink shaped glue bottle', its age and light pink color give it a unique appeal. It's distinctly an antique display piece, evoking a sense of industrial history from the 1890s. Anyone expecting a functional ink or glue bottle will be disappointed, as it's purely for show. The 'Made in United States' origin is a plus for those curating a domestic collection, making it a good, if specific, addition.
