Found a nice little med today in an antique store in Sherbrooke, Qc.
The back is embossed with ounce and cc markings, and on the front is a very nice label with the handwritten prescription. It's an AMB with a succion mark on the base. Base markings: /O 4
There were more of those, most were bigger than this one, but their labels were in worse condition. One of them had a screw top, but it had the same label.
Paid 8$ for it, I'm quite happy. :)

Indeed!
There were some much older, embossed meds but I fell in love with the label of this one.

The label adds some history to the bottle IMO. The label reads "A teaspoonful every three hours" and someone noted on the side "Grippe", which is the French word for flu. I imagine that the doctor and/or druggist was an anglophone, but the patient was a francophone. I'm still trying to figure out the name of the doctor and patient.
