Foley & Co

[kalisita]

Found a bottle on a construction site that is clear and on the side it says Foley & co and the other it says chicago illinois. it's clear glass and is 5 1/2 inches high. any idea what this was for and how old? This is my first bottle and i am excited to start this journey!

The Foley Company made medicines from the late 19th century into the 20th century. They made bladder cures , headache pills, and many other products.
Most of thier bottles are pretty common. Its tough to determine a date for yours without a photo.
