Found this one today. Thought is was neat! Pictured next to a Hutch and a 12 o/z for comparison. Marked. 11 Owens 3. I guess it was used to refill smaller meds ?[attachment=image.jpg]

I couldn't believe the size of the first one that I dug. Must have been prescribed for something that needed a lot of doses or very large doses.[8|] Buster

Not for refills, but for bulk orders of stuff, like a quart of Muriatic acid, or Methanol, Benzene, liquid soap, or enough cough syrup to cure an orphanage! They are fun to dig, especially when they are BIM embossed locals!

Cool bottle. The closest I ever got to finding and embossed local one of these was finding a smashed one under the floor boards of an abandoned shack.

Always enjoy digging plain quarts and embossed ones are special finds, love big meds. A large one like that with a 1/4 or 1/2 oz. next to it makes a cool pic. Sometimes they are SCA. Yours should read :Ounce symbol (not a 3) xxxii for 32 ounce
