What is your smallest antique bottle?

[luckiest]

Here's mine, the blue one is 1.5 inches, the little clear one is about 1 inch high, the blue has a ground top with threads and chinese characters embossed down both sides.

the thing in between the two is a penny leaning against a thimble.

We did this on here a few years ago and if I remember correctly capsoda won the smallest then. If any one can find the thread repost it.

Here's my smallest..

I found it Saturday while picking after a heavy rain shower. Just sitting pretty on the top of a pile we already picked through....

1 7/16" high X 1/2" wide

Anyone have an idea what it is??

Hi Rick,
Many of these tiny ones held medicines and stuff which were administered hypodermically, a syringe would be inserted and the contents withdrawn through the needle, next stop was somebody's blood vein.. one telltale sign of such a vial is if you fill it with water and gently turn it upside down, no water will drip out.. not exactly 100% a way to tell, but most of the time..

Is the littlest, colorless one embossed? Looks like it in the picture.

Not quite my smallest , but 1 5/8" tall. Definately my smallest with a label. It's Sherman, Williams & Co./ Scarlet Lake /expressly for coloring wax/ Cleveland.

Thought I'd revive this older thread since my only intact find today was a micro mini. Some flecks of the contents—a green-black gummy substance—are still visible.
