🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Anyone have some info on this bottle?

Cute little bottle with a brass top. I found it at a site where some buildings had been torn down. The top has very coarse threads and still works after I had soaked for a while to free it. I can't tell what the embossed symbol on the bottom might be. Maybe perfume bottle? Any idea on age?

No idea. The threads look like a similar cut to those found on glass fuses! LOL🤷‍♂️

Cool looking bottle.

Looks like a perfume bottle. The cap may be bespoke for a particular brand or manufacturer, but the bottle itself is generic and could have been used by a number of customers. It's from the Owens Illinois Glass company and has their 'Oval superimposed on a Diamond' mark (enhanced in your picture below):



The Owens Illinois trademark usually has a plant number to the left and digit(s) for the year to the right, but I can;t read them on your bottle (and they need to be the right way up to read prperly so there's no confusion about the digits 0, 1, 6, 8 and 9). Nevertheless the mark dates from 1929 through to the 1950s with occasional (but exceptional) usage in the 1960s.

Thanks! The only number (or letter) I see is a 0 on the left side of my bottom photo.

You're welcome. Unfortunately, not all Owens Illinois bottles have plant/date codes, especially not their smaller bottles.
