Antique bottles are truly a part of history.  The different types of bottles tell a story about a particular industry or way of life.  For example, medicinal bottles tell us how far the medical industry has come since many elements are now stored in plastic bags.  Seeing an old glass IV bottle can take you back decades.  There are antique bottles from the pharmaceutical industry that have the name of the chemical and even poison warnings worked right into the bottle's design.
