A smaller size Owl Drug bottle with a great looking embossed little owl perched on the front of it!   This is a 1 OUNCE bottle. These came in 10 sizes from the smallest 2 1/2" tall 1/2 oz., to the nearly 10" tall 32 oz. FULL QUART size, this one is the second smallest size.  What is most attractive about this bottle is nice purple color.  You hear about old glass turning purple in the sunlight ...  the beautiful purple amethyst color of this bottle is the result of being made with manganese in the glass, a mineral that was pulverized and added to vats of liquid glass that acted as a decolorizing agent to turn naturally aqua-colored glass into a pure crystal clear colorless glass.  Exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun or other sources of UV rays, triggers a chemical reaction and the manganese oxidizes and turns a wonderful amethyst color.  With few exceptions, only glass made before 1914 will turn purple.  Not only does this deep purple/amethyst color make this a great looking bottle, but it also authenticates it as being truly antique, check it out!
