Description

Found this little bottle several weeks back while checking out an abandoned pump house in my city. It burned down in the 1890's, which is why I'm guessing this bottle is from around that time. There are no markings on the bottle that I could see, and there are several rough spots in the glass where it looks as though it must have been exposed to the fire. I'm sure it's a fairly common thing to come across but just curious to know a little more about it.
