Carol:
For those of us who "volunteer" with the BLM or Forest Service on
archaeological projects this web page is wonderful to add to our library.
By chance, is a similar web site or reference available for cans in the
1800s to mid-1900s?

Not a book reference, but the BLM Bottle ID website...with this info:
http://www.blm.gov/historic_bottles/labeledbottles.htm
"Cobalt and milk glass rectangular "panel" bottles were commonly used
for cosmetic products during the era from the 1870s into the 1920s
(largely machine-made by that time)."
