RE: very small bottle - 6/18/2010 9:12:23 PM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline It might be an insulin bottle. I think I have a whole bag of those in my parents' attic somewhere. When I was little, they tore the barn down across the street/catty-corner... I used to look for 'treasures'... that was one of them! The neighbor's one son was diabetic & that's what the bottles were for. _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

RE: very small bottle - 6/20/2010 11:04:47 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Funny - that's the first bottle I learned to identify... when I was 6 or 7! Didn't learn too much about any others for another 30+ years! Always had that love of finding stuff, though! I also found reals of home movies in the ruins (damaged). I wonder if those could possibly be in my parents' attic? _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC. (in reply to terry A) Post #: 9

RE: very small bottle - 6/20/2010 5:05:19 PM    terry A   Posts: 8 Joined: 6/16/2010 From: Trenton Ontario Canada Status: offline thanks guys I plan on keeping more of the bottles I find underwater. Used to be Id pick one up look at it, shrug my shoulders and let it go. I know thats a terrible thing to say for the moment I have been keeping the little bottle in water so the plug wont dry out . Would it bo OK to take the bottle out of water? I assume the plug/stopper must be rubber? Terry (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 12

The bottle's probably never been opened since the day they put the medicine in it. _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC. (in reply to terry A) Post #: 13
