I can't find anything about the bottle either.
"Born in 1842 in the Waldeck region of Germany, Reinhold Van der Emde studied pharmaceuticals in Switzerland before immigrating to the United States in 1867 and finding employment with druggist Henry Diedel, who had immigrated from Germany in 1855...
This picture is of a Haller's Pain Paralyzer bottle made before 1906 (I do not own this bottle). The Haller Proprietary Company ran from 1888 to 1921, when it was sold to a previous employee, and it's name changed to the Haller Company.
The next picture is of a purple Pain Paralyzer bottle. The...
This is a family heirloom called Haller's Pain Paralyzer, bottled between 1906 (opium was required to be listed on the label in 1906) and 1914 when Opium was outlawed in the USA. The next 2 pictures are of the 1912 Haller Heath Guide and an ad for Haller's Pain Paralyzer. The next 2 pictures are...
I'd guess when the lip was applied, the bottle or the lip wasn't hot enough, and it created a defect in the glass, which gave it that clean break later.
Thanks. I agree with that.
Unfortunately none of my other full size bottles have any glass maker markings on them.
The little sample bottle is done in the same style as the full size bottles.
So far the only way I can date the antiques I'm finding on eBay are the dates of the company. The Haller Proprietary Company ran from 1888 to 1921. My 3rd great grandfather died in 1918, and his son ran the business for about 2 1/2 years, and then sold it to someone who had been an employee...
I've been collecting family heirloom antiques I find online. Figuring out the old family business and dates is fun research.
I bought this tiny little one ounce bottle off of eBay, and found the glass maker's mark, which gives the dates of mid 1870s and 1800 for I.C. Co.

So I finally decided to research my little 4 1/2" 3 oz. Kellogg's purple bottle. I thought it had something to do with the cereal company that started in Battle Creek, but I was wrong.
I found the bottle when I was a little kid in the 1960's, probably in the Eastern Sierras, but I don't...

If they are later pieces they are probably not that hot, because of the value of uranium.
My pieces are not Fenton, and probably date from around the 1930s, before uranium was used for energy and bombs. I think...
Wow, those are some very nice uranium glass pieces! I have a couple of pieces with the same light green glass. They read the hottest with my Geiger counter.
Beautiful cabinet.
I collect family heirloom medicine bottles and tins myself. I've bought every one I could find on Ebay and Etsy for the last 3 or 4 years. I even found Victorian collector cards, a cook book, an almanac, and a printing press typeset trademark. At some point I might have to donate it all to the...
I wait for the promotional sales with such sites, and get 15% to 25% off the subscription price. With most online products you can find coupons, and another good source for discount codes is Youtube. I look for review videos where they sponsor the produce and give discount codes.
To save money...
I have 3 cabinets with glass shelves. I had mirrors made for one of the cabinets that didn't have them, and my dinning room cabinet doesn't have mirrors, and I display Noritake tea sets in it.
The only problem I have is dust getting into the cabinets, even though they have fairly tight doors...
Nice find.
I had a girlfriend that liked the old natural sponges that we used in the bathtub. They were always big and odd shaped. That holder would have been perfect for them.
