Here's another one from the dump:

About 8 in. tall, 3in. wide at base, round, clear, ABM, "cork-style" top, porcelain stopper (with "Hutter, NY Germany" on it) ring around neck, Embossed in slug plate on a ribbon:
"Citrate of Magnesia" with 2 sideways "y's" (one at the top of slug plate, one at the bottom.) I know C.O.M was a medicine for major constipation, anything else?[8|]

Nice bottle...what a coincidence...I found one yesterday except for the lip was chipped..I'm going to try to repair it...it'll be my experiment. I read somewhere citrates are common.

Thanx. Yes, they are quite common (people in the early 1900's didn't have the best eating habits) but I'm one of those collectors who doesn't care how common/rare something is, so that's fine with me.[:D]

My lip is more bulbous, I don't have the circle around the logo and my seam does not go to and through the top.

I dig at least one citrate every week at the local spot, at least up to a couple of weeks ago when the ground got too frozen to do anything with...[:mad:] Ahh well spring is coming. Anyone have any cold weather frozen ground tips?
