Tiny Bottle

[jcrlanger]

I believe it was a perfume sample but I wouldn't mind a second oppinion. The quarter is in the pictures for reference. I fould this in a 1940 and earlier new dump I found.

This one is so small I've already figured out that this is going to be tuff to clean[:-]

Different shape but similar size and from same age dump, but this one has a viable lid. It is a 'Tips' bottle. A breath freshener for someone who needed to hide alcohol on their breath and could be carried in their pocket. Funny thing was the tons of red top beer and whiskey bottles in the same dump. Which brings up another question, there were quite a few ACL soda's in there with the Red Top Beer (which have a neat looking label.) A really neat local ACL soda was Bluestone Beverages from Princeton, WV, 1949, but all of the ACL's have very unstable paint, which rubbed off at slightest touch. I tried exposing them to sun to harden the paint but with little luck. Is there away to harden the paint before cleaning it and losing the label?
