Three Bottles

[markroutt]

Here are three bottles I acquired yesterday but know nothing about since I am new to bottle collecting. If you have any info to share I would love to learn. The bottle on the left has the word "Makamoto" and some asian characters embossed on it and it stands 4 1/2 inches. The middle bottle has has no ID markings and stands 7 3/4 inches with the stopper. It has an unidentified liquid inside but the stopper is stuck and I didn't want to break it by forcing it open. The bottle on the right is 3 1/2 inches tall and has an imprint on the bottom that reads PD&CO .566

Actually it's Wakamoto not Makamoto.

Hello Mark,

Welcome to the Blue Pages, and thanks for the great photos. You doesn't has to make em so small, when they're so well done. [8D]

Looks like you were having a pharmaceutical moment when you got these. The Wakamoto is a 20th Century Japanese guy. The large stoppered fellow is a utilitarian chemical, or chemist's cylinder, perhaps shop furniture. The short guy, on the right is probably from our old friends at Parke-Davis.

Thank you for the info and the photos surfaceone! Any ideas on how to free the stopper on the chemist's cylinder?
