Below are a few examples of Bottles and Containers used for Burnett Food Products. For more see: BURNETT’S FOOD ADVERTISEMENTS and as well as items shown in earlier pages.
Burnett’s Extract bottles were paper wrapped when first marketed to the public.
A facsimile from a Burnett’s Floral Handbook (1876) which shows the four sides of a typical extract bottle wrapper. This prevented the extract from being exposed to heat and light, which could damage the contents. Up to this time it is likely a generic bottle was used for many products with paper label wrappers affixed (similar to the above) to identify the contents (see Personal & Medical Various Sizes and Styles of Bottles used by Burnett’s).

Burnett’s Hungarian noble sweet paprika This unusual spice tin pre-dates World War 1, as the Arms of Hungary date to the Austro-Hungarian Empire which ended at late in 1918. The spices appear to be imported from Hungary and packed by the company.
