Bottles are out of my area. I found this with some iron scraps on an old farm.
Any ideas what it would be for or if it was hand blown? There are bubbles in the glass and small triangle mark on the bottom.
Thanks JG

It is Blown in Mold (BIM) with a hand tooled lip. Probably dates right around 1900 give or take. Probably a Medicine or Extract.
Most definitely! :read2:

Burnetts Standard Extracts come in just such a bottle - but this is not a Burnetts or it would say so :laughing7:

There is also Goodhearts Superior Extracts and no doubt many others besides.....

I've also got some local (Hawaiian) medicines that use that bottle type (see picture)

I'd peg the date between 1890 and 1915, so "1900 give or take" pretty much nails it :notworthy:
