Hey, all!
I haven't had many chances to get out digging this year, due to summer work in the arctic (yes, above the arctic circle!), so I was happy to get out and find a few things when I did have time! A couple of them I am unsure of, though. Any help would be appreciated!
First off, while digging in a 1900-1920s dump that is commonly full of oddball meds and chem bottles, I turned up this cool little 4 oz ground-lip, screw cap square chemical bottle. It's brown glass with a round depressed circle on the base (no mould numbers), and the following embossed upon it in a round circle: "TRUAX / ["TRU" with a pictorial axe running through it] / CHICACO/ USA / LABORATORIES". The emblem is definitely cool - one of the coolest I have seen on a chemical company bottle. I can't find much out on the bottle itself (rarity, etc), although there is some limited information on the history of the company.
Can anyone offer any insight?
