Would like to know what this contained - 9/20/2008 6:09:39 PM    Wilkie Posts: 1200 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline Here is another of my purchases from the Downieville bottle show last weekend.  It has no embossing but I liked it because of the shape.  It is 4" tall, has 12 panels all the way around, a nice opened pontil, and a rolled lip.  I would like to know what this probably contained.  I paid 5 whole dollars for it and I think it's worth it.

I dug a similar sized pontiled bottle with the same rolled lip, but it wasn't paneled.  (in reply to Wilkie) Post #: 3

Probably pills or something similar. I'd go along with that. pills, ointment, both in the medicine category anyway.  _____________________________ https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/111503655528237/ I buy samples, Jamaica Gingers from anywhere and Northern California hutches, blob tops.
