As far as I know, no one was arguing for a single product... The original question (mine) was why the bottles were listed under medicine... That these bottles were used for a variety of products, I think, was assumed...

A lot of these replies seem to have an edge to them... I think delving into these questions about bottles and what they might have contained is a valid exercize, but we should all, perhaps, take ourselves a little bit less seriously...

PS...Thanks, Jerry, for that great info!!!

Lots of stoppered beers sodas are dug containing ,paint ,linseed oil , other oils ,creosote and even parrafin ,
People did and still do use bottles and jars for storage Jam jars are often used for paint etc
Just because your bottle contained parrafin / wax when dug doesnt mean it was the original contents ,

Hey Ron , At least you know glycerin is one product that was put in them by the manufacturer.

And for the record, up until a few years ago we had a bottle of glycerine hanging around the house that was about quart-size and which had been purchased at the drug store...

Anyway, I'm trying to find out more about the Price's that's on ebay now... Might just take a shot at that one...

However, if you can tell me how a bottle with it's cork and foil still on it could possibly have been refilled with a foreign substance, I would greatly appreciate it. In the meantime, I'll take another pill for my high-strungedness!


John.

Status: offline 		Sorry - I had no intention to wind anybody up! I was just posting info that is taken pretty much for granted in the UK about these bottles, but which I thought from the previous postings was not widely known in the States.
On the subject of refilling, I have a labelled Prices bottle in my own collection. It's an English bottle with improved / iron pontil, but with the American label shown here stuck to the back! Shows just how re-cycled this kind of container was, way back when.

Sorry I couldn't resist. Here is a legit sort of crossover bottle I found though. It's a med and cosmetic.
