I posted a photo of this Jesse Moore Whiskey found in SF,CA a few months back.
I would imagine this to be a sample size of a whiskey(it doesn't say sample on it) but it has the full embossing that the fifth sizes have on them.
I love this bottle!

I only have a sanborn from 1891 of that town that shows there were a lot of saloons between Church and Main Street and Orleans and Placer Sts.....but I have never dug there before.
There are a few good diggers I know that have dug in El Dorado county so I could check with them though and let you know.

good talking with you...I need to take some Nyquil and try to get some sleep..talk to you later.

Status: offline 		Got out for a quick dig yesterday. Found a 1930s dump, but got one older bottle. It's the sample size of Clark Stanleys Snake Oil Liniment. Embossed on 3 sides 4 1/2" tall. Never seen the sample of this before. I guess it's not rare, but not common either. Good thread by the way

Don't know much about western bottles but that looks like it would be a good one.

It is a sample.  When Barnett was still alive I purchased his book from him at a bottle show.  He had a couple of these for sale, they were out of my price range.  I don't remember the cost but they were over a hundred.  There is a duffy's about the same size that I have seen.  I have a small duffy's but not the sample size.

Hood's Pills Cure Liver Ills

Does anyone know if the Hood's is a sample or just a small bottle?  It doesn't say sample.

Status: offline 		It appears that the Hood's that you have shown here is the regular size of 1-7/8" There were other Hood's bottles that were taller like the Hood's Sarsaparilla that was 9" tall and is common at about $5. The Hood's Pills came in two varieties a 1 to 4 Dose and a 2 to 6 Dose like the one that you have shown. The 1-4 is worth about $8. The good news is that yours is a little scarcer at around $30.  Good find.

Does anyone know if the Hood's is a sample or just a small bottle?  It doesn't say sample.

The 3 in 1 is nice, I have one with the cork and oil still in it. When I got it, it was wrapped in a little pamphlet with pictures and instructions for uses, ie. fishing reels, bike spokes, etc. I disposed of the paper because of the smell and it was saturated with oil.

Many pill bottles came in small sizes and aren't samples. Still a nice little bottle though.

Normally common in the larger sizes, they become more desireable in the smaller, sample sizes. We have all dug our share of Caldwells, Atwoods and Capudines in the large sizes, but the smaller sizes are harder to come by. The Atwoods in the center with the complete paper label is almost never seen and is worth many time over what a regular size bottle would be worth.



I have one of those Atwoods that is wrapped in the instructions.

Status: offline 		Here is a sample I dug up this weekend, (out of a box I had in storage). 
It is embossed:   COLDEN'S / LIQUID BEEF TONIC / PHYSICIANS SAMPLE
It is 4 7/8" tall, kind of large in my oppinion for a sample bottle.  I'm not sure what Liquid Beef Tonic was used for.

Status: offline 		The contents of your bottle was no doubt high in iron and was probably for people that were enemic. Your sample was probably a couple ounces or a few doses. I don't know if this product (see photo) was for the same thing but it sounds rather sick. I don't think that it was like bullion but more for babies or adults that couldn't chew to get their requirement of iron in their diet. Just my thoughts and not necessarily the way it really was.

Status: offline 		Hey Bram, that is actually just the 1 1/2 oz size.  They come in a few different variants, and were a regular product bottle.

This is the sample bottle,  not marked sample but only held about 1/2 oz...
