The old bottle from Pasadena

[Biz]

Hello! I've been digging away in the back yard and have found lots of fun things I'll share when I get them cleaned up a bit, but yesterday I did find something not smashed to pieces! Its a little bottle with a B in a circle. Its a Brockway bottle. Its marked 1/2 oz and there is also a 15 01 and a number 5 on the bottom. I love bottles. My Mama collected them and she was related to a pharmacist so we have these great bottles from the 1800's. That said, I can't find much on this little guy.

There should be some seam lines on the sides. How far up the bottle to they go?

There is one very thin seam that runs from the bottom to where the bottom of the the cap would fit.

This is a screw cap bottle. I'm not an expert, but I don't think there are any collectable screw cap bottles since they were made so recently.

 

[jeff of pa]

yes there are collectable screw caps

maybe not many but
Ball Perfect Mason Jar Blue #13 for instance

I'm just trying to find a rough date. I do have Mama's bottles, which Jeff Of Pa, I have two blues...sadly my mason has a crack. Is their a bottle forum? I'd love to show and tell mine and see others.

and if I had to make a wild guess I think there is a 72 or 73 on The bottom,
Which may be the Date

Does appear to be a Pill Bottle
