Anyone know about this bottle?

[Poeticallyinsane]

Bought another from a thrift store. Not sure if its old or if its anything worth keeping but it was only 50 cents and I thought the shape was neat. If anyone has any information on this then please tell me.

If you cant read what's on the bottom....
It says,
Corning Borosilicate
Made for MacBick Co.
Wilmington
D-3
Mass. U.S.A

Looks to me like a medical collection bottle, ie. urine samples.

I was thinking about using it for a vase. I looked up MacBick and found that it has to do with a hospital supply place. It's still pretty cool I guess. Thanks to you both for the information.

Its probably a flask made to be used on a heater/magnetic stirrer plate. Borosilicate glass is good for applications where it has to be quickly heated and cooled without shattering.

Thanks for that information. So...my next question is...is it worth anything at all? I'm not really in this hobby for the value but I'm curious.
