notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This plastic thermos bottle was made by Thermos in 1941. The bottle is red, black, and tan and is a half- pint size with a red, plastic screw-on cup lid, cork stopper and glass liner. The tag reads “The only Thermos, the Finest Vacuum Ware, ‘Thermos’ is a coined word, the name of a brand of vacuum ware made by The American Thermos Bottle Company, and <u>by no one else</u>. Do not accept a substitute.” This was an attempt to protect the Thermos brand but the trademark soon passed into generic usage.
