First post: I have reason to believe this is the only one ever found.

[SeanColvin]

This is my very first post and The main reason I joined this forum is to find out what this is. Please help. It has NO SEAM (except where the neck attaches), It has a pontil mark, it is nine and one quarter (9 1/4) inches tall. the special feature on this bottle is that there is a spout, or drain, coming from the bottom that sticks out about 2 inches. Please look at the pictures and tell me if you have ever seen something like it

Maybe an IV bottle of some sort. What does the top opening look like?

Yesterday I was looking through a book at the antique store about a 1900 era dairy operation, and they had a pic of someone testing the fat content of milk, cream, butter, etc.. there was a bottle like yours in the photograph, used for filling test tubes.. perhaps tomorrow I will get a pic of the pic for you.. neat bottle, by the way!

Also if it is a milk and cream tester that can't be the only one with so many cows roaming the ranges back then [8D]

I actually did find it on a farm along with like 6 horseshoes and a toy gun...so that it would make sense to say that is was used to test milk products.
