[QUOTE="Carnivant, post: 9891563, member: 87774"]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. [ATTACH=full]497045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]497047[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]497048[/ATTACH] 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! :)[/QUOTE]
