Digger Odell had one listed years ago as a Pennsylvania eye water bottle. It also looks like the Masonic eye and people have called it a Masonic soda or eye wash bottle. Date -I’d say 1870-1890

The monogram is for the Opthalmic Remedy Company, and the product was Cherry-Laurel Lotion. The company was based in Reading, Pa. I have one with the full label, but it is very faded and would not photograph well. The lettering is in red ink. Hope this helps.

Wow, very little wear for a bottle that old. Sorry just noticed the size. I should rephrase it to: "a lot of detail on a bottle that size"

That's a beauty, and not something one would likely find in my part of the country. I just want to add that, for once, when a new posting includes the words "...seams stop well short of top lip..." it was a refreshingly accurate statement. Welcome to the site!

I've edited my comment to add the following: I've never purchased a bottle in my life (more than fifty years after beginning to collect), but I find that a particularly interest specimen. Please let me know if you decide to sell.

Do you know if, when and where it might have been recovered by a bottle digger?
