Two new ones I picked up today. The castoria has never been opened. Anyone know the dates for them.

*Just wondering the date for the castoria. I know the other.

From what I can find online, the registered trademark symbol was first used in 1946 (although I haven't been able to find a good source definitively stating that it wasn't used beforehand, this seems about right for the era where I've seen it showing up) so assuming that's correct it gives an earliest possible date. Doesn't look like it likely dates to very long after 1946 either, based on the graphics.

Thanks Canada. I figured you would be who dug it out. Great work and thanks again!

Fletchers has to be much older. I used to dig them by the hundreds (like California Fig Syrup) and couldn’t sell them at $1 apiece. They were in c. 1900 dumps.

Castoria has been in continuous production from the 1860s up until (apparently, although I've never seen it) today. This boxed one is from well after its turn of the 20th century heyday. Its popularity seems to have fallen off a cliff around WWII or so.
