The bottle features a narrow-threaded neck, its original metal screw cap, and textured glass bands around the upper body and base.

Included with this bottle is its history, printed on heavy card stock:
Clorox Amber Glass Bleach Bottle
Circa 1953–1959
The Clorox Company began in Oakland, California, in 1913, originally manufacturing liquid bleach for commercial and industrial customers.
In 1918, Clorox introduced household bleach packaged in amber glass bottles. The dark glass helped protect the bleach from light, while the sturdy containers became a familiar part of American household cleaning.
Early Clorox bottles were sealed with rubber stoppers. Screw-top bottles were introduced in 1940, making them easier to handle and store. During the 1950s, Clorox bottles featured large, outlined lettering embossed into the glass, textured bands, and metal screw caps. These design features help identify bottles manufactured during this period. By the early 1960s, Clorox began replacing its traditional amber glass bottles with lighter plastic containers, bringing an end to an era of household packaging.
