    Hi everyone. Anyone have any clue what these were used for? Age? B0A735B2-B959-44A3-A4F7-B856CF00A37A.jpeg B8F0CD8A-77FE-4F21-BA3D-C40D3AE58FFC.jpeg 0DD16050-05C6-4CB7-BB9A-D1F4863A4B3C.jpeg 0DD16050-05C6-4CB7-BB9A-D1F4863A4B3C.jpeg

    Medical bottles, I would think. I remember Red Cross labels on various things in my grandparents' bathroom cabinet back in the 50s.

    From the PDF that LauraGarnet02 mentions:
    “the name of ‘Red Cross’ was a trademark for a certain line of prescription bottles produced by the Marion Flint Glass Company.”
    and
    "Marion registered the symbol of a cross between the words Red and Cross as their trademark for glass bottles on February 4, 1908, claiming a use since November 1, 1894.”

    I don't believe this Red Cross has anything to do with the Red Cross service that most of us are familiar with.
