Norwich, New York, I presume.
The company is still in business today.

Check it out.

Pharmaceutical company so your bottle probably held some sort of medicine.

Hi Ronda if my memory serves me right the right side numbers in single diget
we for the thirty's, so your year would be 1930. I do know in the forties it was sometimes called Duraglass, both in script and print.

I am going to bump this one back to the top because I just recently found a cobalt version of this exact bottle, but the bottom was missing on it. Anyone ever see a cobalt one?

That bottle held Pepto-Bismol, they date from the 30's to the 60's. Norwich used to make it at one time. I have the same bottle, I found it in my 60's dump.

Many people have this bottle, I am wondering if anyone has it in cobalt?

I would take a pic, but I left it in the scrap pile at my last dig, I was missing quite a large chunk out of it, if I can find it next time I'm out I'll grab it.
