Found this little amber bottle close to Notre Dame University and cannot find anything about it. I figure someone would know what it was used for. It had a syringe type applicator as well. As you can see the base has embossing of The ND co? The Co appears to have a crescent or semicircle around the O. Its not from the Owens glass co. The ND is embossed the same as the monogram for Notre Dame. The liquid inside the bottle smelled like garlic. Very strong smell. Not sure what medications or concoctions smell like garlic. The bottle was found in a privy dating to 1910-1920.
Any thoughts on the maker or what it may have been used for would be great. jgas

Thanks E., but did they use castor oil with a glass syringe? Glass pusher not a needle but more like an eye dropper style is with the bottle.

I don't think they did, I only went with that because I found an old article about castor oil online and the N.D. Co. was in parenthese before the article, but it never mentioned them any further...GRRRRRRRRRR

Did you see the cone ink marked Notre Dame Ind that Gary listed on ebay? It got up to $2900 and reserve wasn't met. Very cool. Paul :)
