Medicine Bottle with "MB" mark, unusual and rare?
Hello, my first post here...I found this medicine bottle with a very rare mark. I say rare because I cannot find anything comparable and zero information. Can someone help identify the bottle, manufacturer, or both?

Thanks for posting this.
When one flips through the pages of Bottle Makers and Their Marks, one sees a number of variations of marks for a given company. This may be one such unrecorded variation. Muncie Glass Co which has a documented mark of "MB Co." might have used MB. It is a possibility.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I did check out Muncie Glass but their fonts were not close. The stylized "B" which looks more like a script font is the kicker. I can't find any mention or even anything comparable anywhere online. But you are probably right about the variations...

Hi bdjwayne - I know it’s been a while since this post, but wondering if you ever found out more info. I found the exact same bottle today and am also coming up empty.
Thanks,

Hello , I just found the same bottle have you found any info on yours because I can't seem to find anything
My "truffle" dog (joke) just dug this SAME bottle up in the backyard. (his second such find) I am in south Arkansas. My house was built in 1911, I'm assuming they burned their trash and this is a survivor. Other bottle was a WD40 but before it was branded WD40. From appx. 1930's. This one, i'm not so sure. I'm going to look into Muncie glass more and see what I can find out. - r.e.d.
