It’s a post-1929 Owens-Illinois mark. The plant code is to the left of the logo as ‘15’, which was used by the Okmulgee, OK plant between 1930-1939 and then reassigned to the Waco, TX plant from 1944-present.
The date code is to the right of the logo as ‘49’. Owens-Illinois initially used single digit date codes (the last digit of the year), but soon recognised that this was going to create ambiguities and switched to double-digits (the last two digits of the year) during the 1940s. Although there are some occasional exceptions, the bottle was therefore likely made in 1949.
The code ‘10’ below the logo is a mould number.
