I have a very small bottle that is about 2 inches or less in length. It is somewhat round at the bottom and about 1 inch or so wide. The name "Baby Tears" is embossed right into the bottle. I have had it for a long time. Just looking for a general time period, or if there is someone out there who might know anything about the Baby Tears name on the bottle and what it was. Thanks...

Spikespi- Thanks for your information.
Jan G- The color is clear and it is fairly thick for such a small bottle.
* The museum might be an option but it is a distance away and it's winter here. Maybe later.
*Will check out EBay.. Thanks all who answered.

* Thanks Scooter. Just wondering if the bottle is the same glass with letters embossed right on it. No paper label.

Baby Tears are often seen used in many tinctures, ointments and cure-all "potions" from the 1920's and before by the travelling roadshows and charlatan doctors. It could be left over from one of those... like a prop or something.

That was wonderful smelling stuff... I would buy it for the granddaughters so they thought they were wearing perfume! Smelled kind of like Baby Powder, I may still have some in the gift closet...

It could have been used as a sample for introducing a new product to the market since it is so small.

When trying to age old bottles just look at the seam on the side of the bottle. if the seam only goes up part way it is an older one. if it goes all the way to the top of the rim it is probably around 1920 or newer.The lower the seam the older the bottle.

Google it and take pictures of it and take it to a museum so they can tell you if its important or not.
