Hmm...that seems odd.  Plenty of those bottles have been found out here in CA (San Diego).  Strange that the company wouldnt know their product was wide-spread across the US.  But, most archy collections dont get "advertised"...

The presence of the bottle could have meant there was a woman on the ranch.  :o)

Wow! great stuff here, Bill. I had no idea that the SCA glass could show up 
n manufacturing as late as 1933, but it explains my Hinds bottle with the 
crew threads. Here I thought I was imagining the slight purple tint.
The Owens mark is an inaccurate description by me. It's actually an Owens 
car from the manufacturing technique, not the mark.
I'm ready to go with George Miller's date of post-1928 for my particular 
ottle, especially now that you confirm the SCA glass conforms to that date.
Thank you ALL for your input here. The site was found on a ranch near Santa 
e that was not developed until the mid-1970's. The feature appears to be a 
owboy camp. The owner is delighted to imagine a cowboy shaving and soothing 
is chapped hands and face with the honey and almond crème. As the bottle is 
ut of context (it was found during a construction project), he is going to 
onate it to the the A.S. Friends of Hinds Museum. Apparently they believe 
t is the western-most intact example they know of.
THANKS, ALL!
