Little medicine bottle

[Deftone]

Hi all. I got out for a few hours today to find the usual crap around the corral. Oh I live on a family farm that has some history from mid 1800's till now. Just starting to do research and there are multible dugout sights as well as a few homesteads and old schoolhouse locations. Do to river flooding the family moved to where I have been currently detecting. So yeah I can't wait till spring! Well I was walking by the barn door steps and saw some glass. Thought what the heck dig it up. Turned out to be a small medicine bottle. It goes from 6cc, 10cc to 12cc.. The bottom reads Franklin products 1845. The glass has bubbles in it with seam lines. I'm no bottle buff but it made my month. Any help would be great. Also goofed around with my macro settings. Hope the pics are ok. Hey thx for looking and HH.

nice little bottle. I'm pretty sure it's a medicine bottle for animals. It had a thin stopper with a band around the lip. You could put a syringe through the thin rubber stopper and fill it. We had some around our farm.

Yeah, I'm guilty of delivering many shots in this area. But I never seen one like this.Found out the barn was built in the late 1920's. Cant find to much on bottles like this but I assume its 30's or 40's. But I'm amazed as how it survived this long with all the round ups and animals that occupied this barn. It's a keeper to me. Thx for looking and hh.
