| Graduated Pharmacy Bottle with Blue Ribbon in Small Block Letter on the Bottom. |
This is a small (4 inches high) graduated pharmacy bottle made by Standard Glass Co. The shoulder area on one side is embossed 3i on one side. The three is actually a symbol meaning ounce. It is a one oz. bottle. It is four inches high.
On the other side "QUALITY" is embossed on the shoulder, and "PURITY" on the heel.
On the bottom, in very small block letters is "BLUE RIBBON."
There are some nice bubbles in this blown bottle. The brown tint is from staining. The glass is clear.
The pharmacy would add their own paper label.
