What is your smallest antique bottle?

[cyberdigger]

Oops, I found 2 more, even smaller.. though they lack the character of the amber one, the clear one measures 2.8cm, or 1 1/8".. the green one is a newer perfume which my wife likes but doesn't have room for..

Here's mine. The little brown one is only 13/16 in diameter and a whopping 1 3/8 tall!

Here's my entries. The clear / colorless screw top measures 1 3/16", the amber is 1 3/8: and embossed CUTTER & is tooled top.

Mine is thanks to Rocky also, with a "star" on the bottom...It's one of my favorites. I'll have to take a pic in a few days when life slows down. It's very tiny maybe 1 1/2" and I love it ~ * star []

Smallest Bots. in my collection.

Sorry, those are way too big. [][8D]

This thread is right down my alley, take a look at my signature. I just this weekend picked up a dozen pieces (at the bottle show in Kent, Washington) to help fill up the top of my window casings. I still need about 100 more so I am asking for your help to acquire them. I will accept bottles up to 3" tall if colored or embossed but the smaller the better. I have some stuff to trade also if that is preferred or will pay cash.

Please keep this going, I am enjoying the heck out of this.

I seem to recall a thread concerning this topic some months back . I had posted a two and an eighth inch SOZODONT FOR THE TEETH AND BREATH . This little one and five eighths inch VICK'S bottle is actually the smallest bottle I have . Value wise it is probably worthless , but I have always thought it is a neat newer bottle being it still has the original cap on it .

If I were some place, like a show or antique shop, where this was priced at $1.00 or two, I would "POP" for it, so not worthless even though a "Buck" isn't much anymore. I am now really into these little charmers. I searched the show (Kent, Wa.) this weekend diligently in the "cheap" boxes for such items.

I just meant it was worth very little, of course most everything is worth a little something . Just a neat bottle . I have maybe eight or ten small bottles a little bigger than this that I have hung on to over the years .

I'm the same way L C. I have had this stuff since my digging days back in the 1960s -70s and am now down-valueing, selling the expensive / valuable stuff and picking up little, inexpensive stuff to maintain the contacts. I like the people most of all. My point was not to disagree with you but to let you know there are still folks in the hobby that enjoy things about the hobby other than the money aspect although that's alright also. I really like it when I read that folks hang on to stuff just because they like it and not because it's worth a lot of money. I have a bottle I want to sell for $4,000 but will still go out and look for $.50 - $1.00 bottles. That, to me, is what the hobby is all about.

Alas, I ramble. Please forgive me.
