Here is another link, to Corning Glass Museum. Not the type of bottle you describe, but embossed with Aunt Hannah's. http://www.cmog.org/artwork/bottle-843

Subject: Re: Help diagnosing "Aunt Hannah's" glass bottle
My search returned only images from someone's visit to a museum that includes an
image of a sign for Aunt Hannah's Liquid Death Drops and a collection of
unrelated bottles. I haven't seen an image of the bottle in our collection,
which is a French square with recessed panels and a narrow neck. Searches for
AHLDD on the web(not images) yielded references to poison records about "cans"
of the product.
Best,

medicine bottles in Atlanta, GA. One bottle in the collection has been quite
difficult to identify. I have searched all of the resources via SHA.org, as well
as other internet resources, with no results. The bottle is embossed with "AUNT
HANNAH'S". I have found three possible products: Aunt Hannah's Liquid Death
Drops(which apparently came in cans, not bottles), Aunt Hannah's Pile Salve, and
Aunt Hannah's Hair Tonic. The latter two were just mentioned in small newspaper
ads, both by Jenkins Bros, NY. However, unlike most bottles, I have been unable
to find an image of another bottle or references to the products. If anyone has
any information on this bottle or the product, I would be very grateful.
