Could be an old liqueur bottle - Benedictine comes to mind

What's the horseshoe on the front then?

I have no idea how old it is , but the wealthy did like their own-branded bottles

Branded,is that a horse shoe related joke?

Nice 19th ct. black glass liquor bottle but no horse in sight - I suggest you check one of te bottle collector sites

No it wasn't a joke, the wealthy had bottles made to order with their initial or coats of arms or presumably whatever they ordered

I've seen them on larger bottles but not on anything as tiny as this,I presumed it came from a vet(hence the horse shoe on the front)Keith.

that is not a horse shoe.
