This morning (christmas) I dug what appears to be a very small flask 5 3/8 " tall 2 3/8 " wide at shoulder and 3/4 " thick.The embossing is Temple Garden Atlanta,GA in the center.I am very new to this hobby.The house was built in 1890 and I have dug several pieces that I have been able to date to the 1920's, no big ticket items as far as I can tell.Any help with identifying  this piece would be greatly appreciated !

I found one on here for around $30. Seeing its shape, I'd say it's a castor oil type bottle. Still, it's something I'd be happy to dig! Nice bottle, welcome to the forum.

I have the same bottle, and the old timers said it was cod liver oil or castor oil. Common around here.

Common here close to Atlanta...maybe 5-10 bucks if a buyer can even be found here[at least this used to be true..in the 70s maybe a buck]...strange I can find nothing out about a "TEMPLE GARDEN ATLANTA"..Will ask questions at the upcoming Rome GA. bottle show and get back to you. JAMIE
