This is a smaller bottle, maybe like a pint size. Looks sort of like a milk. Any idea what it held?

No doubt it probably held a medication. It has a transfer bead under the threads so there must be two neckring seams on the threaded area. The picture of the bottom shows it could be a Ball jar, but there is a strange half round form on the top bottom seam - that throws me off. If that is an offset baffle valve mark, there should be some drastic thickness variation in the glass wall thickness. I went back to look at the jar picture and couldn't detect the thickness problem.

Hello Annette,

It's my understanding that these held gauze dressings.

I've got a similar jar in amber, with a chippy lip, different maker, in a box around here somewhere.

I think Surf's right, something like Johnson & Johnson jar held....

I have the quart size amber of the above jar without lid or clamp that I will send anyone for the cost of postage. First PM gets it.
