Bixby shoe po;ish from around 1880s they come in many colors aqua being the most common, but that is still a nice bottle and a sure sign to keep lookin in the area.

Thanks Tom,
A friend of mine found one also,last month.We thought it might be ink.Now we know.Do you or anyone else know how something like this just surfaces when you know it was not there a month ago?it's in great condition with only a little white on the inside in one corner.All I did was rinse it in cool water.

Hey diginit

Hey there diginit,

Bixby also made ink as well, it's no wonder their shoe polish bottle's look a little like an ink bottle. I found one of these a few months ago, I think the value I found in a bottle guide was just a few dollars. Your has a really cool shape to the mouth, congrats!
