✅ SOLVED Any of you guys know anything about bottles?

This was an eyeball find in the middle of the woods. It's on the same farm as a 1930's homestead I MD on. I guess my main question is, is it old? Or just something some hunter chunked within the last several decades. Put a little shop brush in for size reference...markings on the bottom are as clear as I could get them. Could be a yoohoo bottle for all I know lol.

The 78 on the base may be the year made

It’s rare these things survive laying in the open. They usually get rain water in them and break with the first good freeze.

It’s got the screw top, that molded ring, the standard date-mold-factory set up unfortunately I forget which number is which, but I suspect it is from 1978 there’s a bottle forum with guys that know more than me

In the 1970's we used to get a chocolate drink at the local gas station that came in a bottle shaped like that. I forget the name.

Yoohoo drink.

I was thinking some type of milk bottle and as Flinthunter said the Yoohoo chocolate drink did come in a bottle with that shape. If that was the one he was thinking of.

Back before you pups 😉were chugging Yoohoo there was the original Choc-Ola drink. That being said, I don’t remember either ever being sold in a bottle like yours. But…. I could be wrong.
if you had to guess, how many ounces?

My guess is that is a 7 OZ. Miller High Life "Pony" bottle. I drank a lot of those in my teens. (mid-to late '70's)

That looks to be a close possible match. Although in your picture I see raised letters on the side of a bottle and the OP only shows numbers and letters on the bottom of his bottle?

I am not sure there are raised letters on the photo I posted but It looks like there may be. I posted the pic for size and shape, not age. I have no idea whether a 1978 pony bottle would have raised lettering on the side.

Yoohoo drink.

I believe that is the one I'm thinking of. Thank you.
