Found this bottle. The stopper is loose inside the bottle.
I have never seen one like it. The stopper is hard not cork. Kinda
like a plastic sound when rolled around inside the bottle.
Any ideas??
Thanks Zuma

I have no idea, snake oil maybe.
Seriously, it's a cool bottle though, I love digging in old bottle dumps you never know what you will find.

Are there any marks on it anywhere

Did you try rubbing it and asking for three wishes? That's a pretty awesome backdrop on the second photo.

How big is the bottle?
It sort of looks like an old bleach bottle that I once had found many+ years ago but that one was brown and did have markings on it.
The stopper might be an old rubber one that hardened over the years.
I remember when old bottle collecting was a popular hobby years ago. The 'trick" was if you found an old farmhouse stand on the back porch, (or where the porch had been), and toss a bottle "out back". Where it landed was where you should start looking. :)

I had a buddy back in NJ that actually mined an old town dump, timbers and all.
He sorta got me interested in old bottles.
Bubby, thanks. I'll post a photo. BTW its just has one seam including the
neck and rim. And I guess the stopper could be a cork or rubber that
hardened up without shrinking??
Timbo I did rub it--third pic. ;)
Paul The old clorox bottles were amber. The bottoms make nice arrow points.
thanks again guys,

Being a retired nurse, I would say it is an old IV bottle that held some therapeutic solution. I have seen similar ones.

It is an old ammonia bottle . According to my neighbor it has no value.
Except maybe the bottom, lol.

Well, lets look ahead...I know what I would put in it...:-)

Chip thanks. Maybe I could rig it for a Scotch Whiskey IV. ;)
Jeb three members just canceled their trade offers. :(
Ok Lyman, I'll save it for you. :laugh:

Don, send the photo to me and I will have my neighbor take a look at it.

Don't have a clue what was in it, but cool just the same, I collect some old bottles and always love finding the old cork ones, very cool. I found a few old cork ones , but much smaller, My uncle that was much older at the time said they were old aspirin bottles, and of course some old Whiskey bottles, the Baggett's loved their Whiskey. ;) :) or so I am told. ;)

You are correct Pat.
I did a thread on it back when I found it.
The members here :) told me what it is.
