Also don't forget that when this tab says "bottle" for liquor it almost certainly doesn't mean a fifth like is standard today.
They were mostly smaller, actually. Some 400 to 500 ml were pretty standard, unlike the bigger 750ml that you see today. Depending on what you bought and from where, your bottle could be really anything, but they were handmade and thick, so really big bottles would be really heavy.
Oh I did mean smaller yeah. I see how it could be ambiguous.
