4.75in tall x 1.25in wide base x .5in wide top bottle. 4 panels, holds 1 ounce of water. Base inscribed 'Des Pat 131081' Numbers are blurry, may be incorrect. Looks like it contained item where you only needed a minute amount at a time.

Sorry don't have camera at the moment, hope descriptions will work for now. If you do a Google Image search for 'vintage square bottle JJ' it is first picture shown, bottle with raised ridges on two sides. Think it is a Johnson & Johnson baby type item, perhaps baby oil? Pinhole opening at top.

Have the top of what I believe is a milk bottle. What is odd is the glass has a distinct pink tinge. Did milk bottles come in that color? Have saved all the pink glass I've come across. Most of the pink glass is very thick and heavy.

A lot of older bottles will turn a different shade when exposed to radiation-- naturally, this is done by the sun and is known as "sun-purpling." Given more exposure, it'll become more purple.
You can artificially make them violet.
Many bottles start out as flint, aka clear, and radiation messes with the de-colorizing agents in the glass-- like magnesium. So, what was once used to make bottles clear will ultimately make them non-clear.
This bottle here is from about 1910.

Yup, from the 30's or 40's. I think they changed to the waisted shape in the 50's

If you do an image search on the phrase. god bless america ww2 celluloid bracelet I found the letter 'A' for that bracelet. I collect Patriotic Jewelry and recognized it instantly. It might not be GBA, I've seen other examples that said USA, ARMY, NAVY, MARINES, AIR FORCE. Would be nice if I found the rest of the piece! I have found a few clothing buttons and 2 beads, would like to find more.
