Does anyone know anything about this bottle?

Hello I was given this bottle yesterday and I have tried Googling but does anyone know anything about it? What it was used for, age etc.

The bottle says on the front
‘ Lysol’

On the base it says
‘ Schiller & Mayr, Hamburg.Lysol ’.

H 18.5cm
W 9.5cm
L 9.5cm

I know it’s most probably classed as vintage rather than antique but I would really appreciate any help, thank you.

I think I’ve just done it for you, is it better?

Does it really say Lysol in there somewhere?

 

I presume you know that Lysol is a cleaning agent? It used to (maybe still does?) come in liquid form, though I generally only see spray cans of it here in the USA.
The name on the bottle is Schulke & Mayr.

Yes it says it on the front of the bottle

 

I found online it was a cleaning product but that was in a modern bottle so wasn't 100% sure that was right. Thank you for the link I’ll take a look now.

 

Lysol was a revolutionary product -- the first disinfectant -- and was introduced by the German company Schulke & Mayr in1889.

Here's more information on the brand. That looks like the logo that was introduced in 1927.

Thank you I’d noticed a few other pictures online and the logo looked different so that makes sense now

 

Logos are an important way of dating items. Companies sometimes make major changes but usually they evolve gradually over time.
