"UNIVERSAL STORE BOTTLE" "ONE PINT MILK"
Size: 7 1/8 T x 2 3/4 W
Description: Enjoy an extra-long burn with this 5 Cent Store dairy bottle.
circa - 1940
This is a classic dairy bottle with ribs running from the bottle neck all the way to the base. It's smaller than our big, big dairy quart but has the same unique shape. Covered in text, it's a testament to its 1940s time period.
Burning Note: The thicker the candle, the longer burn sessions it requires. I recommend burning XL candles for no less than 3 hours at a time and upwards of 5, 6, + hours. The reason for this is that the heat of the flame needs time to melt away the walls and feed the wax pool, so give it time to get the greatest value.
You can also “kneed” or press the warm lip of the candle inwards to get the walls to melt in faster and more efficiently.
Trimming the tip of the wick before each new burn is also beneficial. You can use scissors or nip the brittle end of the cold candle wick with your thumb nail. This eliminates any accumulation of carbon, burnt honey, pollen or propolis from the fabric and allows for a healthy flame and good flow of wax.
