Looks like a common bromo seltzer bottle.

It resembles an ink bottle. The small size and the shape of the lip makes me think that. Also, a lot of ink was supplied in dark blue bottles.

It would be my thought that it is an ink bottle also:

OR it could be little boy blue laundry bluing.

Never heard of Little Boy Blue! The neck looks different, though.

It appears that the bottle ID probably might just depend on what ever label was on it when it was new.

inks typically have a wider base to limit tipping, your seems a bit too narrow for this use.

That could be. I know there were inkwell bottles, intended to be dipped into with a pen. They had a wider base. There were also “refill bottles” that were meant to be dumped into a well; not used directly. These had narrower bases. But I do think the bluing was probably a more accurate assumption.

There were ink bottles that were of a particular size and that size was to fit the hole in the old wooden school desks.
