Thanks, George.

The notation "SCA" by archaeologists here in the West means sun-colored 
amethyst: it was clarified by manganese. Yes, amateurish, I know, but it's 
short-hand out of the several Western states' historic sites manuals, I'm 
afraid.  To my reasoning, my particular bottle pre-dates 1915. The Owens 
mark on the bottle post-dates it to 1904. I was hoping some information from 
the listserve would help me narrow it down.

Cathy,

I have a Whitall Tatum Co. drawing of the bottle.  The front panel reads:
HINES / HONEY / AND / ALMOND / CREAM / A.S. HINDS CO. / BLOOMFIELD / N.J.
U.S.A.  The base reads A.S.HINDS CO. along with the triangle WT mark.  It
has a continuous thread finish.  A note on the drawing reads "Dimensions
show proposed changes - other dimensions same as W.T. dwg. no. G3831-E"
The base of the drawing reads LEHN & FINK, IND, NEW YORK / 4 1/2 OZ. FANCY
OBLONG/ PROPOSED CHANGES.  Date Jan. 23 - 1928.  WHITALL TATUM CO. /
MILLVILLE, N.J. DRAWING No. SK. 208

Question, what color are your referring to as "SCA"?  Not everyone will be
familiar with your coding.

Peace,
George L. Miller
