I ordered a batch of 20 and it came to under $20 with shipping. These are 300ml bottles with caps, but no hanger. You need a a 28mm crimper - not included, but I can picture a way to improvise that along w/ the hangers.

Additional info specific to these bottles:

fwd:
You need a 28mm crimper.
The caps are made by Sterling Winthrop. Seal, 28mm, Aluminum Blue Flip Off/Tear Off.

I have no association with this company, other than being a happy customer!

Note that there were some Czech glass IV bottles in 500ml available from SG that had a screw on top - looks like I got the last 1 doz of these - if anyone knows of an additional source, please let me know. The stoppers and caps on these does limit re-usablitity to an extent for these, if more cannot be obtained...
