While digging In my usual spot I pulled out this. Any ideas what it may have contained? :icon_scratch:
The mark on the bottom is an "N" in a rounded corner rectangle shape. Obear-Nestor Glass Company, East St. Louis, Illinois (1894-1978)

I'd guess since from your picture it looks like it has a crown top so a soda/beverage bottle is my thought.It's a machine made bottle so not old so a soda bottle sounds likely.

I don't know much about bottles, but I do know that for the most part bottle shapes tell a lot about their former contents. For example, most wines are in similar shaped bottles, The same goes for whiskey, milk, sodas, medicines, etc. Based on the shape of that bottle, I would imagine that it was for a sauce of some sort.

of course - "new" is subjective - machine made bottles can be over 100 years old at this point - anyways - this particular bottle is some sort of olive oil or something like that - 1920s-40s or so....

The glass appears to be thick? Sometimes you can judge by the time period by your md finds. My opinion (and everyone has one, lol) 40's 50's

I said not old ; I didn't say new . I collect bottles so relatively speaking machine made bottles are not old.
