It called a vial. They have been blown (by specialist gaffers, it seems) for centuries to contain all sorts of substances.

Agree with Pikes Peak - opium.

Cool. It's the first full bottle I found up there. Had no idea what it might've been used for since there's hardly any room for anything to fit in it. If it is around 1890 then that kind of goes with the period this cabin was used up at the mine

often called opium bottles but they never held opium...a lot of chinese meds look similar but yours looks a bid classier than those.

Not opium vial IMHO, it's a Haarlem Oil bottle, and yes it is spelled with two A's, Google it...

Opium came in tins which are/were found anywhere that had a community of Chinese people in the old days.If you"ve been diiging in trash dumps where there were chinese rail workers,miners etc you'd find lots of crushed opium tins.
