Pair of amber glass jugs, approximately gallon size, each bearing a red paper label reading “Formaldehyde,” issued by Florida Hardware Co., with locations listed as Chester, Florida, and Warwick. The labels are later applied and are not original to the manufacture of the glass jugs.

While the jugs were likely used for formaldehyde at some point in their working life, the labels are clearly not original to the vessels and reflect secondary or later use rather than original factory labeling.

Both jugs show surface wear, internal residue, spotting, and handling marks consistent with industrial or laboratory use. Paper labels exhibit staining, edge wear, losses, and discoloration. No stoppers or caps are present.

Condition is as found. No claims are made regarding original contents beyond observable labeling and residue. Please review photographs closely for condition details, label wear, and glass imperfections.

Listed dimensions are for each jug.

Dimensions: 6-1/2" L x 6-1/2" W x 11-1/2" H
