Very nice mini, I never saw one of these.

I have the same mini, except mine is a screw top. Here are a few of my favorite mini's.

HOODS PILLS FOR LIVER ILLS/DOSE/1 TO 4//C.I.HOOD CO. LOWELL MASS/USA
HOYTS/5C/GERMAN/COLOGNE
DR.KINGS/NEW LIFE PILLS//H.E.BUCKLEN&CO//CHICAGO,U.S.A.

I love the tiny crooked bottle, no writing on it, but it's so crude it's beautiful. And the larger green bottle is actually 8-sided, and it still has the glass applicator wand inside - must have been a perfume. The tiny green bottle is so small and crude, and the glass is really dirty, with bits of sand blown in the glass and a really crude top.

I love collecting these mini's, they don't take up a lot of room, and you don't see too many of them around.

Good job with the images, Richard!

Thanks Harry. Did you dig those mini's? Very nice color, love the rolled lip too. How do you photograph yours Harry? Do you silouhette your images in photoshop, or shoot against white and blow out the background, or both? Nice stuff!

I use a radiograph (x-ray) viewer mounted on my wall. The eight flourescent tubes in the viewer are color-corrected, plus the light is diffused through a milky plexi-glass screen. I used the camera flash on this image. Any unwanted lines (e.g. from the glass shelf) I remove using Adobe Photodeluxe.

ruccello, nice group and great pics too. I've been trying to reproduce Harry's methods, but with not much results. Harry, let me ask, about the "milky plexiglass screen".... how do you get this, sandblasting, white paint, can you buy it? Thanks, gleaner1

Mine came with the light-box (x-ray) viewer. You can buy this stuff -- try the sign shops in your town. As an alternative, you could try transparent plexiglass (or glass) with a frosted film (a "privacy" laminate) applied to both sides (this is not as effective).

Here are some small ones I dug up in a dump. The first one on left is a majors cement bottle from New york. The one next to that is a Carters indelible ink bottle. the next on has O S & P co NY on it . The last one has nothing on it

I think I have had this bottle on here in the past , but since we are on small bottles I will enter it again. It is the smallest bottle I have.
