I dug this little bottle on Saturday. I can't find any info about it online. It's blown in a mold. My guess would be some kind of local drug store from possible Louisville Ky but I'm not sure. If anyone knows anything about it like age, Where it is form, and what it is worth I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
Tom smith

Looks to be around 1900 give or take a decade. I too believe it is likely a medicine. I would suggest looking up the NAMEs in Newpapers. com to figure out where it is actually from.

Tom, I did a google search of "Dwight & Reed" and the only pharmacy / druggist with that name was located in Syracuse, New York. They were in business at least during the 1892-1894 time period, and probably much longer than that. Here are a couple obscure references.

That bottle certainly looks very late 1880s or sometime in the 1890s. Nice find!!
