I discovered an advertisement from The Pharmaceutical era, Volume 38 printed on Nov. 7, 1907 that listed 5 different sizes. They cost $.15, $.50, $1.00, $3.00, and $5.00 I know of only three; the small rectangular bottle above which I believe to be 5.125" tall cost $.15, 6.375" round, and a 9.5" round. All three came in either clear or amber glass.
The third image shows the embossing on the amber 9.5" round, and the fourth an amber rectangle 5.125" tall. All amber bottles are scarce to rare. Full-labeled bottles are exceptionally rare. If you know of any other variations please contact me.
