I can't seem to find which glass company this is,,, its a K in a JUG?? thats not considered a keystone correct?
THis bottle comes from an area loaded with 1930's bottles, we pulled up several today...got a 1940's Pepsi bottle too..
I'm trying to figure out if this is a Syrup or liquor bottle..
The location is yielding to us, Soda, beauty cream Milk glass, some old beer cans, 1950's.

Hey solar,

That is a keystone. It's Knox Glass: "K in a keystone…………Knox Glass Bottle Company/Knox Glass Associates, Knox, Pennsylvania and other plant locations (1924-1968). Knox operated a number of glass manufacturing plants over many years during the 20th century, and each plant used a different letter inside a keystone as it’s mark. For much more in-depth information on the Knox family of plants and the marks they used, please check out these two articles written by Bill Lockhart: http://www.sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/knox2_brg.pdf and
http://www.sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/knoxglas.pdf " From the work of David Whitten: GLASS MANUFACTURERS' MARKS

My bet's on booze.
