    This is a green bottle measuring approximately 6" x 2". The seams do not go over the rim. On one side, in raised letters, it says Moone's Emerald Oil and the other side says Rochester, N.Y. The bottle has a triangle with an R, to the left of that is the number 6, and to the right is the number 41. It is also a screw cap.

      My first post was a bottle similar to this. Dug up on the family property.

      If you like medicine bottles, you may consider purchasing those with their labels still on them. My specialty is labeled antique bottles.
      My most recent acquisition C. 1845:

      Perhaps, but that ruins the fun of the hunt. The only reason I have these bottles, is because I dug for them. If they had their labels, it would probably be from an antique shop or someone else's collection. I prefer the hard way. But, doesn't mean I won't look. I did just find some old bottles with labels in my local dealer of antiques and one of them was one of the bottles I already dug up.
