I am just a beginner but already have found that I utterly adore hunting bottles and I seem to have a knack for it i am told, lol. I have been out of commission since may seeing though I moved. Sadly, soon sadly, I haven't been able to find any dump site where I moved too. Ugh....
Anyways I have a few bottles/jars I need help with dating. I am starting with one of my favorite. I just love this guy...so cute.

Please don't mind the atrocious state of my hands...lol.

I've seen these before, I think it was for some sort of mucilage or something similar. Pretty sure it wasn't for ink but was for something ink-adjacent.

Looking up the Patent # on bottom might help you date it, looks to be from 1920'S or newer with the screw top but just a guess. As for Value, not much. you could maybe squeeze $1.00 out of it if lucky. LEON.
