This blown and molded square-shaped bottle has a thin neck and a flared lip. The white baked enamel shield is framed by stylized blue leaves with yellow and red flowers. Above the shield is a yellow crown. TMR is the abbreviation for Tinctura Martis, or tincture of iron. Tinctures of iron were commonly used as stimulants or tonics.
