Hi Everyone,
I haven't studied all the newest antique bottle books, but I've known this 7-8 inch cobalt blue Stafford bottle to be always ID'd as an ink bottle. However, I discovered this example in the basement of an old 1880s Chicago house with its original paper label that indicates it's really a "mucilage" (glue) bottle. Is this new news or did everybody already know this? Just wanted to pass this info on.
I'm posting 2 images of it for all to see.
Happy digging to all!
Paul
