Collector's Tips
From the days of the crockery jug until 1940, cork-style rubber
stoppers were used on the standard Clorox
bleach amber glass bottles. In 1940, a screw cap was introduced,
and a modern adaptation of that top is still used today. These
more modern screw cap bottles can be easily identified by their
threaded necks as contrasted with the smooth finish, cork-style
necks of the earlier Clorox bottles.
Height and content capacity is another way to determine the vintage
of Clorox bottles. Until 1933, the Clorox
"pint" contained 15 ounces and measured 7-10/16"
in height. In 1933, the 15 ounce "pint" became a true
pint--16 ounces--measuring 7-14/16" in height. Through the
years, the quart bottle also experienced various changes in height
and width, though it was always contained 32 ounces.

This guide has been prepared purely as an aid for collectors
wishing to determine the vintage of early Clorox
bleach bottles.
The Clorox Company sets no value on these bottles, nor does it wish to
purchase old bleach bottles.
