[QUOTE="Carnivant, post: 9899275, member: 87774"]I am not reading MBW Co on this one; however, here is that company's page on that very helpful bottle website: [URL]https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WesternBottle.pdf[/URL] 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): [URL]https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-glass-bottles-clear-illinois-4451281449[/URL] ([URL]https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WilliamMcCully.pdf[/URL]) 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! :)[/QUOTE]
