Old Bottle
« on: September 27, 2012, 05:57:39 pm »
Hi guys,
Anything about this bottle anyone knows or can point me in the right direction?  Is there much point in collecting bottles?  I have a few in a box in the garage somewhere but came across this one and decided to ask questions in case I find the other ones...lol
Thanks!

I don't think your bottle is that valuable. Please remove the lid so I can see the opening. Try washing the bottle a little so I can really see it better.

Yep !! Need to see without the top on !!  Its a screw top so probably 30`s or 40`s smaller at top makes me think it is a tonic bottle from a barber shop !! But it would be good size for that !!  Post the height please !!

Added the requested photos.. not sure why the bottle has a brown tinge to it but it's clear glass. It's also 6  3/4" tall if that's helps.

I was hoping the markings on the bottom would be a clue but maybe markings on glass bottles aren't as important as they are on other things.  Is there somewhere to look them up?
