What was in these bottles?

[chosi]

Left bottle is blown in mold with no embossing, right one is machine made with a Whitall Tatum mark on the bottom (inverted triangle with W over T, and a "B" below the triangle). Both bottles have an identical size (4" tall) and shape. Can anyone tell me what these bottles held?

Well I didn't see any pictures to sow us what you have. RED M.

Whitall Tatum, eh?Love that company.

It was there this time. They look like some type of milk container. Is there any embossing on the bottom? That small almost makes me think of ''HOT RED CANDIES". Hard to tell. RED M.

I'm 80% sure those had citrate of magnesia in them. They look a lot like the embossed druggist versions. Edit: oops, four inches, never mind. I am not 100% sure those did not have citrate of magnesia in them. I have no idea what they would have though.

They do resemble tiny milk bottles.They hold about 1.7 ounces when filled to the top.

It's really tough to know for certain w/o a label but possibly something like Clam Juice that required only a small amount to flavor. I doubt you will ever know for sure.

Clam sounds good, maybe even beef . Also grape could be candidate.http://www.antique-bottle...?high=%22Clam+Juice%22
