The context I have dug them in has been a bit newer-TOC through 1920 or so.

I believe these were made in the late 1890 - 1920 period, that would be right for where it was found. Alaska history does not go back all that far with respect to American or European occupation. This type bottle contained mineral water or some medicated bitter roots and herbs in suspension.

Thanks again fellas. Totally agree on the 1890's to 1920's as I know what was there where we found it. Sadly our Russian Occupation goes back to the 1700's but very far a few between along the coast.
My history where I'm at we had a few prospectors in the 1890's but the town sprang up in 1901.
