    Thought it was a door knob.

    My guess would be a large Apothecary jar, maybe for some kind of tablets. It seems too wide for liquids.

    Lid? Ashtray?

    I go with the floor protector idea. They were used to keep the metal caster wheels from digging into the softer wooden floors.

    Bottle questions

    Your bottle was made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Co, probably 1945 but no later than 1955 according to my book. ( BOTTLE MAKERS AND THEIR MARKS by Julian Toulouse) The 6 is the plant number, the 5 is the year and the 3 is the mold number. He says that mark was discontinued after 1954, but he...

    1934 Pine Tree Whiskey pint.

    My bad, I had not read the fine print. I see the warning is on the label and the early ABM ring threw me off. That may be the first medicinal whiskey label I have seen and it is in great condition. Congrats!

    The lid is for a Hero jar.

    What is a antique bottle before,and after 1900

    When I started collecting, back in the stone age, "old" bottles were those that were hand finished and made before the automatic bottle machine was invented. Milk bottles and canning jars were separate categories. Anything can be collectible and there is no disgrace in what ever attracts your...

    Skull and Crossbones Poison

    There must be millions of those Iodine bottles out there. It was the 'go to' medicine for cuts and scratches for generations. I wonder what percentage had the skull and bones.
