I've been collecting family heirloom antiques I find online. Figuring out the old family business and dates is fun research.
I bought this tiny little one ounce bottle off of eBay, and found the glass maker's mark, which gives the dates of mid 1870s and 1800 for I.C. Co.

What has me puzzled are the dates. My 3rd great grandfather did make remedies before he stated the Haller Proprietary Company with 3 of his brothers. The Haller Proprietary Company officially started in 1888, although I believe his brothers already had their store called The Haller Brothers, in Blair, Nebraska.
My 3rd great-grandfather might have been giving out samples earlier?
There's also the possibility the tiny glass maker's mark actually reads I. G. Co.
The picture of the Haller Brothers store has my two 3rd great grand-uncles standing in front.
