My elderly mother moved close to me recently and we have been going through her many boxes of items.

Here is a bottle she gave me recently as she knows I collect many sort of items. She says she has had this bottle for many years but knows nothing else about it. She cant remember some things any more.

Does anyone have any idea on its age, origin and use? Any ideas are welcome.

Its 8 inches tall 2.5 inches square. No markings or embossing. I cant find any mold seam.

thanks - I suspected it was not old. Everything to her is old and worth 'A lot of money'

I am not keen on new bottles. I used to hunt bottles a lot in the 70s when the other relic hunting was not possible. In the ozarks my record was 37 bottles in one day.

That's a-lot of bottles for 1 day , I'm wondering why other Relic hunting was not possible at that time?
Sorry if i'm a Nosy Person.

This little blue one is less than 2" tall with no markings, any thoughts? I thought 1930's-50's, maybe aspirin.
The pharmacy bottle in front is a favorite, Philadelphia USA facing up with the street address on the side. Found in Bucks County, Pa.
