I found this bottle at a yard sale and paid $1.

Clear, BIM, tooled top, 7 3/4" height x 2 3/8" square, embossed on one panel "Riker".

Based on the Mortar and Pestle that surrounds around the R in Riker and the crossed legs on the R and r it appears to be from the same Riker pharmacy associated with the Riker-Jaynes firm. I found several examples of Riker-Jaynes bottles online but none like this. Perhaps it was produced before the two firms merged?

Not an exciting color but apparently a very rare bottle.

Nice Riker's. I have the expectorant from Wm. B. Riker's & Son. Your looks pre Jaynes.
