For decades we have heard that this style Owl Drug bottle is a BAY RUM bottle, so here's some of the proof.   The label on this bottle is a copy of a label that is on this exact bottle, but in another collection.  It helps to validate that it is a BAY RUM bottle.  These bottles came in 3 sizes, with this smallest one being the rarest, followed by the largest size.  This example has a boldly embossed bird on it, not all of them do
