Perfume bottle?????

[denmar]

This is another bottle we found it looks like a perfume bottle, it has gegeuber embossed on it, also 'seams' down the side, it is quite small and I have put a lighter in with picture to demonstrate size, tried 'google' for the name but nothing much has come up. Can anyone help on this one please.

hi, where are you from. Looks like it might be a European bottle?

That may be a tough one. The name implies German, Dutch etc.
Since I'm not familiar with Continental bottle forms I have know idea. Here in the states the form may be a small pill bottle. The neck is usually shorter though.
I wish I could help.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I;m having major probs putting second pic on so here goes again. Also what about the name does that mean anything to anyone. I am from england and we found this when digging in a cave which had obviously been used to dump stuff a long time ago. Any idea of age?

gegeuber

Seems German or Austrian. Sheared lips are pretty uncommon on late American bottles but they were aparently widely used on late European bottles. I would think end of 19th century/early 20th for that one.

I wish I could give more advice than to go back to the cave and dig some more but sorry, I can't.
Caves have turned up some amazing stuff though!!
