1960 to 1971 Aunt Jemima Syrup Bottles w/metal caps
Remember the wonderful amber brown
glass syrup bottles shaped like the Aunt Jemima lady? She had a yellow metal
cap, arms folded in front over a big apron with a big bow tied at the back. She
came in three sizes: Large, Medium & Small and was a welcome guest at any
breakfast table where waffles or pancakes rested steaming on plates waiting for
that pat of butter and tasty maple flavored syrup. You can still buy those
wonderful bottles, though empty, to display on the shelf in your kitchen. We
have 13 11 dark amber bottles in the 3 sizes for you to choose. We will sell one or
several and combine shipping. Thank you for reminiscing.....we fondly think on
those days as well...the caps say 69 cents or 79 cents...!
Further History: The Davis Milling Company was renamed Aunt Jemima Mills in
1913.[7] The Quaker Oats Company bought the brand in 1926.[1]; In 1933, Quakers
hired Anna Robinson to play Aunt Jemima as part of their promotion at the
Chicago's World Fair in 1933. The Quaker first registered the Aunt Jemima
trademark in 1937.[1]; "Jemima" character on 1899 cakewalk sheet music cover
The Aunt Jemima character received the Key to the City of Albion, Michigan on
January 25, 1964. An actress portraying Jemima visited Albion many times for
fundraisers.[8]; Quaker Oats introduced Aunt Jemima syrup in 1966. This was
followed by Aunt Jemima Butter Lite syrup in 1985 and Butter Rich syrup in 1991
Just as the formula for the mix has changed several times over the years, so has
the Aunt Jemima image been modified several times. In her most recent 1989
make-over, as she reached her 100th anniversary, the 1968 image was updated,
with her kerchief removed to reveal a natural hairdo and pearl earrings. The
logo much more resembled a modern homemaker than previous designs and carried
far fewer racial connotations. This new look remains with the products to this
day.
NOTE: Companies bought out each other and somehow the FIGURE - ie Figural Bottle
- of syrup transferred to Quaker & Pinnacle Foods which preferred to call this
black slave woman "Mrs. Butterworths" and made her a talking character for TV.
We do not know which syrup this represents as we always thought it was Aunt
Jemima because it looks like Aunt Jemima. We deem Mrs. Butterworths a "marketing
character cleaned up to represent an updated black "mammy" without the
connotation of calling her Aunt Jemima which represented an old slave lady.
Either way - the bottles are clean, in excellent condition, have their original
metal caps and are decorative.

Order Form or quote request below please.
The photos below of these old amber brown glass Aunt Jemima
syrup bottles will enlarge when you click on them for a good view. The
descriptions refer to the 3 sizes we have and the base marks on each bottle.
These bottles are in excellent condition and all have their yellow metal caps
with the white liner inside and are also in excellent condition. We notice that
the one small 1960 bottle and one of the medium 1961 bottles have similar bases
with no ridge marks plus the 1961 medium bottle as compared to the newer 1969
bottle has style differences in the face, arms, elbow & collar. We hope you
enjoy looking at these bottles. We would love to have you purchase one or all of
these wonderful examples of history. And speaking of history - why is the Aunt
Jemima syrup (in plastic) now called Mrs. Butterworth's and the plastic Aunt
Jemima syrup in a no figure bottle? Did they loose their Trademark? or what? See
note above.
