Stearns was a huge Drug Co. in Detroit for many Years. They made many different Bottles in many different shapes & sizes. They have a 3 sided Bottle that seems pretty common in amber. LEON.

the masons patent jar is a # 1974 in the red book and is machine made on an early machine with the lip ground after coming out of the mold with the numbers on the bottom being mold marks to identify the mold it came out of for what quality control they had back then. 1890 - 1910 era and made by many different glass company's.
