1920s bottle

Listerine was invented in the 19th century as a powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in a distilled form, as a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn't a runaway success until the 1920s, when it was pitched as a solution for "chronic halitosis", the faux medical term that the Listerine advertising group created in 1921 to describe bad breath.

If it is a screwtop then it is most likely after 1913.

Hi, It's a fairly common bottle because of its popularity. I've found dozens of them. The only bottle that I found more of, (124 bottles) is Baker's flavoring extract. They must have made millions????

 

[deacon_frost]

found one of those myself but its a little over 3 inches tall did they make a smaller version or is it the same bottle?

 

[coinnut]

They made a couple of different sizes of those bottles. A picture always helps, but as far as I have heard, there are no rare ones.
