Dug this neat little tooled lip bottle today. Bon-Opto For The Eyes. The bottle would have contained tablets that the user would dissolve into water and then use an included eye cup to wash their eyes with. The bottle was meant to have the eye cup as its cover in lieu of a cork.
This product appears to have been marketed heavily in about 1917 and through the 1920's. It apparently claimed to improve vision to the point where you could "discard your glasses".
The company sent a sample to Charlie Chaplin in 1917 as well, probably hopping for a celebrity endorsement. No clue if they ever got one.
