I live in what's basically a ghost town called Trona in the Calif Mojave Desert right up against Death Valley. During the last seven years I've spent every day excavating local artifacts to give to the little Trona Museum. I dug up a little bottle yesterday 1/2"x1"x2 1/2". It is mouth-blown with raised embossed 'THE SUN DRUG CO." on front and back. I websearched the Sun Drug Co. and could find nothing. No history. I believ the bottle dates circa 1890s. Anyone here have information to help me?
 

Thank you..

Looks like the bottle I dug up was made in 1901. Amazing that something so small and delicate could survive unbroken the journey it's taken.
