Hi Bill-
The only product I know of with an octagonal necked bottle like that is
Underberg bitters, but it was only sold in single-serving sizes. Do you think
the super thick bottle from the village site may be a liquor or pharmaceutical
dispenser bottle?

Subject: Bottle Fragment ID
Hi All,
I know I am usually one of the ones who ANSWER bottle questions, but this time I
am the seeker.
I am working with the TIGHAR group investigating the possible crash site of
Amelia Earhart. TIGHAR has been excavating for the last few years and has
unearthed a number of glass fragments and complete bottles.
One set of fragments fits together to form an octagonal bottle neck with a
continuous-thread finish. Most people look at the reconstruction and think of a
catsup bottle, but the glass is ca. .5 cm. thick -- VERY thick for a catsup
bottle.
Photos of the reconstructed neck/finish are at:

I welcome any ideas.
Thanks,
Bill
