Abbott's IV Bottle

[Beep Beep]

I found this Abbott's IV bottle in the woods along with a vintage glass Gatorade bottle (I'm south of Gainesville where Gatorade was made). It was all in an old refrigerator in the woods.

I can't find much info about how to date the bottle.

I also would like to know what the indent on the bottom is for? The photos I've seen have a band that supports the bottle going around it but nothing shows what that indent is used for.

Welcome to the forum! I'm guessing that it's from 1981. Not sure about the indent, maybe for some device which needs the bottle to be in a particular orientation.

Even the Gatorade bottle being so new, is still collectible.
