Front of bottle embossed with an OWL PERCHED on a CRESCENT MOON. Bottle embossed:  "GILLETT / CHICAGO". Condition:  Bottle in nice condition, has some content residue/haze, and a light flake from top edge of lip.  NO cracks, dings, etc. Age:  An early hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. late 1800's. Shipping:  Buyer pays $5.01 S/H ~ more if international ~ We ship every Wednesday. So if you pay with PayPal by Tuesday evening, we will ship your item Wednesday. Payments received later than that will have to wait until the following Wednesday to ship, though we can possibly make exceptions. Regardless, your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. These Gillett food bottles are often misspresented as Owl Drug Co. bottles.  They were actually put out by the Egbert W. Gillett Co., who started manufacturing flavoring extracts and baking powder in Chicago, in 1873.  We've had about 7 different sizes of this type of bottle, all have the embossed Owl, but some have a little different embossing.  I suspect that they actually came in about 10 sizes, from this tiny 1/2 oz. size to the large 10" tall, full-quart size, of which we know of only 3 in existence.  There are some different shaped Gillett bottles that also have this owl-on-crescent-moon Trade Mark, but without the Gillett / Chicago embossing.  Again, you will see seller's on ebay try to list these as owl drug bottles which they aren't.  This littlest one is a tough one to find, check it out!
