Thanks for your help...

It's a cruet form so vinegar or syrup come to mind first.
Take Care,
Pete

The A H is probably for Anchor Hocking.

Zarex
ZaRex was a very popular sweet drink concentrate in the 1970's. The mascot and logo is a Zebra. It is still being made and sold. It is available in Raspberry and may be available in other flavors as well. It is made by One Pie Canning Co. of W. Paris Maine 04289.

The catchy jingle is still remembered by east coast children of the 1970's:

Zarex the Zebra is zipping along...And everyone's singing the Zarex song...Zarex is zippy...Zarex is zappy...Zarex will make your whole life (or mouth) happy.
Uses
You can add water to it to make a drink or you can pour it over ice cream or snow cones.
Container
ZaRex comes in a screw-top glass bottle. The bottle holds 16 fluid ounces of syrup which can make four quarts of drink. It does not need to be refrigerated.
Ingredients
(for Raspberry ZaRex): High fructose corn syrup, water, raspberry and other natural flavors, citric acid, red no. 40, Blue no. 1, preserved with sodium benzoate.

I thought Anchor Hocking, then, Alexander H. Kerr & Company, but it's truely Hazel-Atlas Glass Company
This is one of the best sites for determining bottle ages and makers:
http://www.myinsulators.com/glass-factories/bottlemarks.html

Here's what the site has to say about it:

H over an A (shown).......Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, Wheeling, WV; started at Washington, PA; later plants included Clarksburg, WV; Zanesville, OH; Ada, OK; Montgomery, AL; Oakland, CA; Pomona, CA and other locations. (1902-1964). This mark was reportedly first used in 1923, according to trademark office records quoted by Peterson (400 Trademarks on Glass). I believe the mark was last used in 1964. The Hazel-Atlas Glass Company was formed in 1902 as a result of the merger of the Hazel Glass Company (started 1887) and the Atlas Glass Company (started 1896). Hazel-Atlas manufactured tremendous quantities of "depression" pressed glassware in a wide variety of patterns throughout the 1920s, '30s and '40s. They also produced many of the white milkglass "inserts" used inside zinc fruit jar lids, as well as many types of milkglass cold cream jars and salve containers. Also an important maker of a very large variety of bottles and jars for the commercial packaging industry. "Atlas" was the name brand of their most popular line of fruit jars for home canning. Hazel-Atlas became a subsidiary of Continental Can Company in 1957. In 1964, 10 of the 12 H-A plants in operation were sold to Brockway Glass Company, and I am not sure if the remaining two plants used the H-A trademark after that year. Some Hazel-Atlas plant codes and other markings seen on the base of their bottles are shown in a chart here , courtesy of Dick Cole (fruitjar.org).
