Medicine Bottle

Small, clear glass bottle with a rectangular body, short cylindrical neck, and rounded rim. The bottle is transparent and bears embossed lettering on the front indicating capacity (“CONTENTS 1 FL. OZ.”). Its flat base and narrow opening suggest it was intended for medicinal or pharmaceutical liquids such as tinctures or tonics.

The bottle’s slight irregularities in thickness and molding indicate mid-20th-century machine production.
