bottle i.d.?

[Mainedigger]

Hi, a friend of mine found this bottle in the walls of his house, the house dates back to the early 1800's. Any ideas on what it is?? Thanks.

I get nothing on "LLITEX"

Looks like some kind of settling bottle - the graduations and side spots for a scale of some kind. Like for measuring sediment or something in a sample. Sure seems there should be a purpose for that odd shape. Maybe a hydrometer or vinometer bottle? (Used with a float to measure sugar => potential alcohol content)

I can see the seam line going up to the lip-turn of the century 1900-medicine bottle.
or replica.

CRC Handbook of Pesticides - Google Books Resultby George W. A. Milne - 1995 - Technology

That's a very interesting bottle ! Maybe an "invalid bottle" for measuring doses ?

It may be an early Hummingbird Bottle Feeder. Perhaps they were a set that you could slip into a "carousel" type of holder. Or just a single one with a rubber and tube stopper.

Big Maybe of course.

Mojjax...I don't mind at all, in fact I thank you for taking the time to post it elsewhere. I also am real curious as to what it is for I;ve never seen anything like it. Thanks again for the effort and let me know if anyone has an idea on it.
