Dug this bottle from my property. Other bottles dug from same area date 1930s-1950s. Dimensions are 8 in high, 2 in deep, 3 in wide. The only markings are what appears to be a lowercase "a" at top and the number 87 at bottom.

Could be... I've found Fitch's & Vitalis tonic bottles in the same area.

This is all New to me. I don't think I've found anything of monetary value, but learning about how the tenant farmers lived in the 30s - 50s has been fun and enlightening. I'm sure I'll have many more questions, as I have unearthed hundreds of bottles in the past 2 months. They range from tiny vials (possibly animal vaccines from hog farm) to Coke & Pepsi bottles, larger RX bottles, Clorox bottles, etc.

Thanks again for the info!

From the shape I'm thinking witch hazel or rubbing alcohol.
