and the ground lip has typical roughness from the manufacturing process.
Otherwise bottle has NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc.  The little tin lid is rough.  It has rust and corrosion so we kind of helped it out by lining it with tin foil for looks!

late 1800 - early 1900 era.

We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
These little oval shaped hand blown pill bottles are always popular among collectors. They were made in this shape so they could easily fit into a pocket or purse but as time went on, they were eventually replaced with tin containers and eventually paper tubes, much like Tums or Rolaids come in today. Like Tums and Rolaids, these were Digestive Tablets (for treating heart burn, upset stomach, etc.) but the
PEPTENZYME
title gave them a much more medically correct sounding term.  What is special about this is the
beautiful DEEP COBALT BLUE color
, very nice.  In summary, what makes this an exceptional bottle is:
1)  The attractive TEAR DROP oval flask SHAPED bottle.
2) It is a beautiful deep blue color.
3) It is nicely embossed and
4) it
is an early hand blown into mold bottle.

nice little example of this little bottle,
