Used from 1933 to approximately 1968, and possibly somewhat later on some bottles.  Commonly seen on the bottom of many amber-colored (and clear) medicine, chemical, and other types of generic “packer” jars and bottles that were produced in very large quantities during the 1940s, 1950s and ’60s.  This mark was officially trademarked as TM #311,765, registered on April 3, 1934, with first use said to have been on November 6, 1933. It is perfect for those interested in the gas and oil industry and the evolution of advertising over time. The bottle is a great conversation starter and a unique piece of memorabilia that will surely impress any collector. You will be hard pressed to find another Marvel Mystery Oil container of glass this size with a paper label. Several collectors have told me they have never seen this type before. It can be yours!
