So I'm a long time lurker, first time poster, so after I found a couple bottles, I figured I could post them.

This is the first one I found and honestly I'm stumped.

It's pretty cool, ngl, but I have no clue what was in it, where it's from, or what company made it. Theres no engravings on the front, back, or either side. There are some on the bottom, however:

It says [0]02

If someone could be able to help me out, that would be lovely, thank you!

Hi BBFC, welcome to antique-bottles.net
That is a nice find. I am thinking it is a perfume/ toilet water bottle. The mark on the bottom is called a manufacturer's mark. Owens bottle company Toledo, Ohio produced that particular one. They are one of the easiest to date. Owens changed their mark over the years. The O in a square was used from 1919- 1929. Some say 1911- 1929 but Owens claims the first use of that mark was 1919. In 1929 Owens merged with Illinois glass and became Owen-Illinois. There is a site called glassbottlemarks.com it is a great resource for glass manufacture mark identification. I believe you will like the site. You can view the Owens 1920 catalog at Illinois glass co. 1920 catalog at sha.org

Hey there Dewey, I'm peeping at yours, and I'm seeing "similar but quite a bit different" yours are in opposing angular orientation. I'm certain that one of yours is a Virginia Dare extract bottle and the other is possibly a perfume or another flavoring bottle.

and Miss fruit cup, I'm with Robby on that it appears to be cologne or skin product. It seems to be about 5 -6" in height x 3 -31/2" wide and no more than 2" thick so the fluid capacity is prolly only 4 - 6 ounces.
It's a nifty looking bottle,
~Fred

I pretty sure that it's a posion bottle. I've found a couple before in Georgia. There is one I found on the net with posion emblossed on it.
