    Need Help In Identifying

    Hi everyone! I am usually on the metal detecting site because that is my hobby. I came across a bottle in the hunt and I need help identifying it. The bottle is light greenish blue. It is 5 3/8" tall and 1 1/8" wide. the bottle is round with sort of a long neck that a stopper would go into. On the bottle it says (INDIAN OIL) It is in great condition. On the neck there is a small rough spot that looks like it was there in the process making. I tried to send a picture but it said the file was to large and I don't know how to make the picture smaller. Anyway does anyone know what Indian Oil is? Thanks

    If you can resize, post it here and also on http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/, they do a good job
    on info.

    Indian Oil would be some type of medicine. Many different concoctions were called Indian Oil.

    Sounds like a Kickapoo Indian Oil patent medicine bottle:

    If so, it's worth $10 or more, depending on the variety.
