Small Sun-Purpled Bottle Identification?

Hello!

Here is a bottle I bought a long time ago (well, over a decade ago). It came in a lot with various medical/vanity bottles, mostly dating to the 1930s and made in Canada. This, however, was the only purpled one. Unfortunately, it has a big chip out of the rim, so it likely wouldn't have much value; however, I am still curious about its identification.

This bottle is 7.5 cm tall. The seam disappears half-way up the spout. There are very fine details which are difficult to capture in any light, so for what is written on the bottle:
Front top: 3IV
Left front: Has markings 1, 2, 3, 4 with measurement "3" (for 3IV, a presume).
Front right: Has markings 5, 10 (a spot for '15', but the number is absent) with measurement "CC".
Bottom: Probably the brand, but I cannot read it for the life of me.


I tried getting the bottom in as many angles as I could. It looks like it starts with an "M" or a "V"; the bottom work seemingly has four characters, maybe starting with a "C" or a "G" (unless I have it upside-down?).

What I have been able to find is that this looks visually similar to some Owens bottles; however, I have not found an Owens bottle base to look anything similar to mine (they normally mark with a single letter or their name, which is much shorter than what is on my bottle).

So... I am stumped with this. Any help would be appreciated!

 

I cannot read the lettering, but the shape resembles an old White's Blueing bottle to me. It would have been hair dye or laundry cleaner (both LOL) IF that's what it is.

 

@Carnivant, I tried a bunch of enhancements, but the only letters that came out clearly, were in the upper row, between what sort of looks like a second 'M' and a 'C'.....is a fairly sharply stamped
'VK' or 'YK'....

​

 

Thank you! I will look into that.
I've also found similar bottles with Illinois Glass and Blue Ribbon, although the logos don't match this one either. Still looking. x)

​

That is definitely better than I can see in person, although I still can't make a word out of any of those letters. There also seems to be more recognizable letters than if it were flipped, although just in case someone sees something this way, here's that image upside-down:

 

I just wanted to send you to a site that might be of some help. I'm not sure if Canada is included but here it is anyway.

Just a little bit from that page, there is so much more info.

This bottle is similar though bigger, but might be a direction to search. (might not)

That is indeed a very helpful sight--I use it to identify basically all my bottles. Unfortunately, I have not found it helpful for this particular bottle. I don't really have a place to start without being able to read my bottle, and the section about this bottle shape does not show an example that I think it could be. Still, it has many pages, and I am browsing everything I can.

 

Do you think it might read WBM Co for Western Bottle Manufacturing Co?

Something like this one?

I am not reading MBW Co on this one; however, here is that company's page on that very helpful bottle website:

One of the marks they have is GEM OVAL MWB CO. The last four letter word on mine could be OVAL. It would be the wrong order for MWB Co, but some prescription bottles are from REX OVAL, so... maybe more companies used that word.

While looking for OVAL bottles, I also found this one (very last image):

(https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WilliamMcCully.pdf)

The bottle says IRON GLUE McC & Co. Wrong order again, but the company name starts and ends with what appears to be the right letters. Perhaps the last word on mine could be GLUE as well, although I cannot tell for certain on that yet...

Some helpful leads. Thank you!
