It reminds me of something that would have gone to a smelling salts bottle, but I don't recognize the specific stopper.

So reading other threads about r h macy, I can tell the business was started in 1850s, but utterly since they sold all sorts of things, it's unfortunate that I wouldn't likely be able to get a date estimate on when it was made

I think these types of bottles were made from around the 1880s until the 1910s or so. Tough to narrow it down much more than that though.
