We dug this bottle up with the backhoe. It is impressive to think that it was buried for years and then unearthed by a backhoe, yet it has survived in remarkably good condition. It is 5 and 1/2 inches tall and has "FOSS' 2 oz. FL.
Liquid Fruit Flavors
Portland, ME
Standard Quality
Full Strength"
written on it.
With a little bit of on line research, we found out that the bottle contained flavored extracts and was produced between 1870 and 1930.
