I've always called them 'acid bottles", not sure why. They came in a wooden frame/crate. I know they had ceramic beige colored stoppers that were sealed shut. i have found them broken behind old brick mill buildings here in new England over the years.

Cool bottle , thanks for posting it - welcome!

Well, they really did have acid in them - I found one of these in a half demolished abandoned factory a few years ago, in a wooden styrofoam lined crate, still full of hydrofloric acid. Had to dump it out to move it(I'm sure that was some sort of pollution violation, but the dozers would have crushed it anyway the next day), made the concrete floor sizzle and dissolve.... cool! Anyway, after I got it out of the styrofoam, it was base embossed like Timmy's but dated 1951 - still a hand finished blob top, though! I believe most of these were made at Gayner Glass Works in Salem, NJ, they were still doing them by hand in the 1950's, there's an old video of the guys blowing them there then, with a '50's ford pickup in the factory lot...
