Found this bottle earlier this year. Looks like a snuff bottle. Little bit larger than a snuff. B&b on the bottom. Any ideas what this could be? Anybody found anything similar?

I cant find anything on b&b baked beans. There is B&M baked beans tho. There is an ebay listing for this bottle, the description of it tells nothing of the age, maker or contents. I have contacted the seller to see if they have any info on the bottle. I have searched for british and/or European bottles like this and nothing...

Found it!! It is a B&B Carbolated gauze jar. It is used as an antiseptic wound treatment. Johnson and Johnson seems to be the main producer of sterile surgical gauze. Apparently B&B was a lesser known company that produced the same thing! Thx for the input, it really got me thinking outside the box to what this bottle is! The attached pic is off the internet.

Helps to have the label. Kind of looked small for baked beans anyway. Can't use baked beans on an open wound ...can you? Lol! Glad you solved this mystery. Very satisfying.
