Dug in a 1942-1945

Probably meant to regulate the amount that came out. Hot Sauce, Absorbine jr. etc

I like it! Pretty nice for a 1940s bottle. I’d even say it’s somewhat unique.

Hair tonic such as Vitalis came in similar bottles if memory serves.

Try Google search term "1940's hair tonic bottle" and check out the images. Maybe try 1930's as well. Good luck.

I lived through that era. In fact, I think I used the Wildroot product in my mid or late teens. Before that, during my crew-cut and "flattop" phase, I used a product called Butch Wax (I had no idea that there was a sexual connotation to the word at the time).
