Bottles & Button

[milco]

Stopped at a house demo site today, found a couple pieces of glass and a older button, probably from the 1920-40's. The little blue bottle was a cool find! The button is about the size of a dime for size reference.

Nice couple of eyeball finds. Is the back of the button brass?? What do you think that milk glass item is?

The back of the button is rusted iron so it is a newer button. The milk glass item is like a modern day carmex jar, lip balm or something, perhaps a make up jar of some kind. The little blue one is Bromo Seltzer, Emerson Drug Co, Baltimore, MD.

I think they still make Bromo Seltzer. Of course, being a child of the '70s I can't help but think of the Wacky Packages version:
