Pick this little guy up in a large bottle lot purchase. It reads satin gloss stove polish company Portland Maine. Very crude loaded with bubbles, smooth base seem stops just below the tooled flat lip. It only stands about 2" tall and inch in dia. I think it maybe a sales men sample bottle due to the size. I can't image that the product would come in such a small bottle for retail purchase

Here's my theory. They were samples and the large size were tin containers.
That or they were a touch up or other side product. That's the only size I've seen embossed.
