12 sided medicine bottle

edited June 2010 in Question and Answer
I need help identifying this bottle.

It has 12 sides, very light, no writing or numbers. Approximately 4" tall it has an iridescent finish to it and is a little more aqua coloured than pictured.

I'd like to know if anyone can tell me what kind of bottle this is and most importantly, where/how I can find one similar.

Thank You

  • Nice photo!

    This is a mid-19th century sided medicine bottle with open pontil. I just ran a search at ebay and found several that are quite similar. You will often find people refer to this unembossed freeblown type bottle with thin glass as a "puff"

    Here is a convenience link direct to ebay: open pontil medicine on ebay.com

    I would expect to pay $10- to 20 for one.
