I cannot see contents but in my opinion the smaller the container the more dangerous the contents. With old veils I would be extra careful.

Perfume? (purse-sized)... Yak

Is there metal on the bottom too? If so, could it be some kind of electrical fuse?

Looks pretty modern, maybe a perfume sampler?

Ok...thanks. Somebody had told me it was a Homeopathic medicine vial from the 1860's +. Im leaning more modern too... but he looked at it and said the glass was to thick on the bottom to be modern. The funny thing is I found it in a cow pasture that had an home on it back in the 1890s-1920. It was about 4-6 inches deep. Oh well...Thanks for looking.

Probably a cosmetic or perfume vial from the early nineteens. Especially if the brass bottle cap has an embossed design. I will try to post a pic of mine soon.

This is similar dug from an old school yard. This one has about about twenty sides. I say these are almost certainly a perfume.

Thanks..that kinda clears things up for me. I appreciate you taking the time

This is more of an art deco piece from the 40s I don't belive the original one is. It is more of a medicine bottle

 

[gleaner1]

Is it more of an art deco piece or is it more more of a medicine bottle? I wonder if its a vial. I wonder what it smells like inside. Randy, can you help us with that? Please.

 

[Randy769]

send me your address and Ill let you smell it first

Whats wrong, cant figure out how to get the cap off? Its probably best just to keep it on it could get ruined. Give the outside a good cleaning and keep it its a cool little relic.
