I found this bottle about 25 years ago while reading meters in downtown Savannah. Thought it was pretty neat and kept it. I just recently found it in a box had forgotten about it. Just curious if anyone has any info on it or if it has any value.

It's hard to see but looks like it has 701 on the bottom with a l (small line) in the middle of the 0.

Is there writing on lower edge of the bottle?

It looks like there is on the left side facing the camera.

Probably not, but it reminds me of an old (labeled) iodine bottle that was my Grandmothers "go to" for just about everything, medical.

Found a few of those at my Grandma's house. If I remember right they were used to put medicine in. The brown color of the bottle was used to protect the medicine from sun light.

I was thinking iodine or Mercurochrome bottle.

Looks like a liver pill bottle. Not sure though.

It's machine molded made in Alton, Illinois. Year I'm not sure of.

I think these are much older than what you have, the O I symbol on yours was used after '54, but I think this maybe the type bottle you have.

Here's is a link to a catalog

Could be a snuff bottle. It was common years ago.

My first thought when I saw your original post was that it reminded me of the old type Iodine bottles that my Mother used on me and our family members back in the late 50's when I was a kid.

Osprey,
After seeing your photos shown above, The Diamond "I" design bottle with the flat-head red cork with the glass applicator shown is exactly the same type, size and amber colored bottle that my family used with the rubberized top and the glass type insert to actually rub the Iodine onto any wounds etc.

This is surely a memory from the past.

I am in agreement with Kawlaigh. It is a Snuff Bottle
