Hey nice to see someone else from Ottawa on here, welcome to the forum! Can't say I've seen one of those dug before. Not to be gross but I'm pretty sure that's a urinal bottle, likely for hospital use. 1920s definitely seems right if you found it in Ottawa, seems like everything that there is to find in Ottawa is from the 20s or 30s.

I agree - I've seen similar in milk glass. Nice.

It's a very unique bottle, but I don't even want to try and think about what it might have been used for...

Ick. Cool find, but my germaphobia is kicking in!

It reminds me a screwtop inkwel but 1950s. The marvelous thing in our hobby is to find always something unknown.

No mention of size, but bed urinal or ink are reasonable guesses. The mouth finish make me lean toward the former. Depends on how big or small it is.

Did you dig this!

Nursing bottle is another, albeit unlikely, possibility. Once again though, Bytown, we need some idea of the size, please.
