✅ SOLVED Seen this bottle before?

Dug in the woods. There was nothing for signals and this popped out. If I had better signals to dig I would have left it but....

I know nothing of old bottles and I doubt this to be that old either but the wife liked the color and I was wondering what used to be in it.

Light blue, best I can make out on the screw top is Warner est 1855

Any markings on the bottom?

I dont know what it was but any large blue glass jar is a keeper.

Looks like a long word under WARNER. Can you see it?

The color on the ebay bottle looks darker and the cap is red, but could this be a close match?

Holy smoke Catobra!!! Thats a heck of an ID!

I was googling "Warner est 1855" but of course its "Warner established 1856" Big difference in a google search.

It says its a laxative.

 

[Catobra]

This says "laxative" so is that Milk of Magnesia? It looks like that would be it.....

Great i.d.; well done

 

[Blskypilot]

Yup that's it. No words anywhere on the glass. I googled but never thought to check eBay. Actually still had white crusty residue in the bottle when I found it.

You dont have to search eBay. Just google the correct words and/or letters and eBay will come up.

You were probably searching "Warner, est, 1855" like me.

It probably had a label. Mark solved please. Thanks.

I was. Looking at the bottle I still think it looks like 1855 and that's why I didn't find much.

 

[Blskypilot]

How do I mark as solved? Can it be done from the iPhone app or do I need to pull out the pc?

Me too lol. Thats why its best to post a good clear close up picture and let us figure out what it says. Despite the poor pic, Catobra figured it out so its cool. I like the cobalt blue bottles. Maybe not a lot of value yet but they make nice display and the larger ones usually are found broken. Nice find.
