A few of these have turned up over the years but, as far as I know, have not been reliably attributed. All I can tell you is this:
- All of the bottles appear to be small. I havenāt seen one taller than three inches.
- The glass always seems to be very thick.
- The suggested dating is sometime between the late 1800s and early 1900s
- Most people refer to them as perfume or druggist/apothecary bottles. Some folks believe they might be for smelling salts or something similar, and Iām in that camp.
- The monogram is āRMCā. Some folks suggest the intended order might be āMRCā but Iām sure the dominant letter is the āRā; that the āCā almost certainly stands for āCompanyā; and the āMā might be for āManufacturingā or possibly some derivation from āMedicine/Medical/Medicinalā.
- The monogram is for the company that made the contents of the bottle, not the company that made the bottle itself. Your monogram is within a star, but bottles also exist without the star, as below. Thereās no record of it being a registered trademark in the US, either with or without the star.
