Probably free sample bottle. They were in business from late 1800's til at least the 1930's. Larger sizes are common but tiny ones are harder to find. Cliff (in reply to woody) Post #: 2

It's a wonder I didn't miss it. This is an early ABM sample, as the line goes to the top of the bottle. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to woody) Post #: 3

They take a lot less space and lots are missed by diggers. Here is a picture of some of my indelible inks I have dug. Left "CARTERS INDELIBLE INK" 1 3/4 in. next "DJ", then "FK" I believe F. KIDDER indelible ink, last unembossed. Three short ones are all pontilled just little over 1 1/4 in tall. Must have been a job to make these in pontil times.
