Bottle info and ID

[TerryEastTexas]

I'm new to this forum but am glad to be here. I hope to be here more often. I found this bottle yesterday while MD'ing. I eyeballed it on top of the ground which surprised me a little. But there had been dozer work in the area so anything is possible. Anyway it's in great shape no nicks or scratches. I believe it's a medicine bottle but I would like so info on it, if you please.It's 3.5" tall, 1.5" wide and .75" deep. On the back right side are the numbers 10, 20, CC. On the left is 2, 4 and 6. These numbers are from the bottom up. In the middle is 3 I and on the bottom is 0 surrounded by a square.I don't expect to be rare or anything it's just that metal detecting I don't come across many bottles. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks Terry.

It is a drug store / pharmacy bottle from the late teens, early twenties. A paper label would have had the actual drug store name, location, and type of medicine. Now they use brown plastic bottles when you get your prescription. RC

Thanks RC that helps to getting the full picture of the bottle's history.

Sunrunner I looked up Owen's. It's an interesting read. Thanks for leading me that way. Good information.
