Perfume Bottle?

[bobbydceee]

Found this bottle on our land in Ellisville, MS in a washout after rain near an old homesite. I was hoping someone could help me identify it. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Bobby

Those are stylised cursive ‘FF’ letters, which was one of the trademarks for the Foster-Forbes glass company operating from Marion, Indiana since 1929 and then later at several other plant locations.



That particular style of mark was used from about 1942 until 1983, after which the company was acquired by National Can. Difficult to narrow the date down any more than that without knowing what it held, but it’s a generic bottle that might have been used for things like cologne, hair tonic and a number of other non-viscous toiletry products.

yea my first thought was aftershave or cologne.

a little large for perfume. Most women like Dainty, stylish and Easy to fit in a Purse
