Roman Numerals

[mikepietrello]

Hi Guys,
Just a couple quick question about the Roman numerals on this one. Was there alot of companys that used Roman numerals? And if this is not a dose bottle than what is it?
Thanks,
Mike

OK I got it,
The "3" symbol is Latin for ounces. So this bottle would read 8 ounces.

I find those exactly like that...I hate them...I m sincerely hoping to score one with druggist embossing or find one to buy with the paper label. GOT PICS OF ONE WITH A PAPER LABEL????

I wish.
I've done a little more research since I posted, There are some out there in amber also, no labels yet.

Wow those are sweet, I got the blank out of a bucket of 40 pieces that I paid 20 bucks for at a yard sale. Would of been nice if it was embossed because its near mint.

Yea exactly, blank..always blank..thrown tons back..thats why seeing the embossed ones make me sick. Now everytime one is poking out I am hoping it is embossed with ID after seeing these one's at these posts.
