I dug these two in a gully about two years ago. One says "Squibb" and the other is plain. Both carry the iconic Owens-Illinois diamond "O" logo, dating to at least 1930. I believe the Squibb bottle carried Aspirin? The other bottle I have no clue. What is really neat, is that I found the originally dropper that came with it. Any suggestion on what it might be?

I found an ad dated June 13, 1935 for a 16 oz version of your bottle. Your bottle looks smaller than 16 oz.

I found numerous ads with the same style bottle with many different products in many different sizes

I almost though this was the same type of small green I found recently. But mine is diamond shaped ang the des. pat. led me to the bottle design patent sheet. I determined mine was a nasal mist, probably had a mister on top.

Cool ok you found the dropper, no question there!

The one I found has an anchor on the bottom. They say squib, and some other writing on the bottom I can make out BOTTLEMANUFUSA under the anchor. It has 8 sides.
