Medicine or Whisky ? - 12/25/2011 9:28:56 PM    treeman14307   Posts: 3 Joined: 12/25/2011 Status: offline 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 !

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. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
