Yesterday I was digging in my mid-20s dump, and as luck would have it, I found a splendid little bottle, 1/4 ounce capacity and just shy of 2.25 inches tall, embossed with "Block and Kuhl Co" which was a prosperous local department store. I had dug 1 ounce and 1/2 ounce examples in the past (none listed or acknowledged to have been known prior to my digging them) but I never expected to find a 1/4 ounce example, as I've never heard of bottles so small being embossed with a local business and intended for use in non-export trade. I figure the bottles held perfume or other pricy goods.
So, have any of you fine folks seen any 1/4 ounce or smaller bottles intended for local trade? Ever see druggists that small?
Pics coming later. []
