    Anyone recognize this bottle/jar??

    Dug earlier this summer in an area where datable finds ranged from 1890-1930ish.
    Bout seven inches...more green than aqua....twelve sided.
    Body is two pieces...neck is two separate pieces...top ring makes five.
    Only marking is mold number on bottom...452'
    Probably not that old but a neat bottle regardless....any help would be appreciated....Thanks....Joe

    Grandma's snuff came in a jar like that before they started putting it in a water glass suitable for washing up and using it in the kitchen. (Garrett Snuff)? Monty

    I think the Edison box was there for size comparison or to liven up the pic a bit
