Showing you all my newest, and oldest embossed Utah bottle. About 5” tall with a Square body. I love the snake wrapped around the Rod of Ascepius! Here’s a photo of them I found from the historical society (the UDSH) from 1860 in front of their crude business. This one is c. 1870 I.M.opinion.

Great pharmacy bottle! While it could date to the 1870s, this shape/style was also quite popular in the 1880s as well. I looked up the company and they were in business into the 1900s. What evidence makes you think is dates to circa 1870?
