It says drops on the other side. When I was pulling down a dirt bank in the oil boom town, this bottle showed but when I got it out, I found the neck was already broke. :'(

RGecy, Nice collection of miniatures. I think that coke is the smallest.
Stoney, Ni-i-ice cobalt vicks. I've never seen anything like it. Is that a wire in the top?

I used to have a large bottle collection. I had so many boxes there was no room to keep them. Now I only collect miniatures; mainly medicines. Small bottles are easier to find unbroken. They often survive, where the larger ones do not.

Cy, yes it's an ornament hanger. I hung it from a small tree on another post. The wire was not originally part of the bottle. Still trying to research it as it seems unusual. Turns out it was initially threaded.


Vick's Drops bottle.? In 1913 the Vick Company was selling Electric Hot Drops and Toothache drops.? The name was later changed to? Vicks Nose & Throat Drops.? I think your bottle was probably a sample.? Their most famous product was the Vick's Vapo Rub.? Its predecessor? was originally called Vick's Croup and Pneumonia Salve circa 1912 by the Vick's Manufacturing Chemists, Greensboro, NC.

We can't tell how small it is- you pictured nothing to compare it to; even though, I think I recognize this modern bottle.

One of my kids got a toy pop delivery truck for Christmas several years ago and those little coke bottles were inside it. You can buy those small vials at the drug store with oil of cinnamon in them. As kids we use to put toothpicks in them and make hot spiced toothpicks. Be very careful though it will burn the skin! Monty
