1930s "The Lions" soda bottle

Hi, sorry for disappearing for a couple years, guys. (I'm the OP for this thread.) Here are photos of the base. One mark appears to be a "2" or a "5" and the other is very faint, but MAY be a triangle? The base isn't "worn" but is still fairly illegible, as if it's poor quality or something.

Tiniest bottle - Hollywood Laboratories Toronto

Tiniest bottle - Hollywood Laboratories Toronto

Thanks for your replies. I'm hoping someone will find this thread who can at least help me to know WHAT to search the web for, in order to find info! Image searches for things like "tiny striped perfume bottle" with variations of "Hollywood laboratories Toronto" haven't turned up anything...

Glass battery!?

Thanks Red! The only writing is at the top of all four sides where it says "high", presumably as a (pointless) indicator of the level of the liquid.

Glass battery!?

Found this today about 18" deep amongst a pile of old cans and ketchup bottles. Can't find any info about this particular "make". I wonder if this helped to power a tractor or something!

1930s "The Lions" soda bottle

Found this just barely poking out of the surface, about 6' from a sidewalk in some bushes. The company is "Van Bros Ltd" which I have learned operated out of Vancouver BC in the 1930s. On the reverse is an image of two distinctive peaks seen from the city - The Lions.

Tiniest bottle - Hollywood Laboratories Toronto

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and look forward to some great conversations! I found this today in a dump site that has a mix of Victorian trash and 40s/50s trash (the latter was bulldozed onto the former). I assume this tiny glass bottle is from the 40s/50s. The label seems to say: W____...
