    Whats the smallest bottle you have found?

    This has gotta be a new record
    Its early 1900's i think, For some reason it has no side mold seams, but the cap is pretty modern, the dump was late 1800's to early 1900's.

    Re: Whats the smallest bottle you have found?

    Jeff,

    any idea what it was for?

    If I had to guess I would say some type "magic new life pills" which were big in late 1800's early 1900"s. So many different feel good pills were sold, a cure for everything.

    have a good un.............

    Re: Whats the smallest bottle you have found?

    The top one has Threads & a 19 on the Bottom
    the Bottom one has a top that would have took a Cork (Stopper) & has a 4 on the Bottom.

    ? My Guess these are Dates, & would make sense.

    Holes are So Tiny on top, IF pills they would have to be Smaller then NITRO Pills,

    TOP one 3/16"? Bottom one 1/4 "

    That's why I think Perfume.

    Yours May be an Old ALKA-SELZER Bottle ?

    Re: Whats the smallest bottle you have found?

    My bottle is very similar to Jake's. Bottle is 2 3/4 inches tall and a 1/2 inch in diameter. It still has a clear fluid in it. I haven't been able to unscrew the cap. I'm not quite sure if I want to. I found it at a boarded up funeral home built in 1914. I found it buried with it with a few other bottles from the 1800's.
