Historic USA Hospital Department Glass Bottle - Civil War to WWI Medical Artifact #1653206 (License: Personal Use)

This antique amber-colored glass bottle features raised lettering reading “USA HOSP. DEPT”, indicating its use by the United States Army’s Hospital Department, likely between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bottle exhibits characteristic imperfections-bubbles, slight discoloration, and a thick-walled construction-typical of hand-blown or early machine-made pharmaceutical containers. Its shape suggests it held liquids such as antiseptics, tonics, or medicinal solutions in field hospitals or military depots.
