HELP Duraglass Owen Illinois Bottle!

[tiffany252]

Hi,

So I found an old clear glass bottle in an older part of my small college town in NC. I usually use these bottles for art which is why I collect glass bottles (Usually Alcohol Bottles). However before I ruin this bottle with paint I want to know the history. I have been researching the best I can but in the last few days I have found nothing on what this bottle even is. So if you can help that would be great!

Important Notes:

• Clear Bottle
• Duraglas is found at the base rather then on the bottom
• Scallop type design
• Old Logo, Seems to be from 7th plant in Alton Illinois.
  
  I could be wrong, so I appreciate any insight given.

Welcome to Tnet, Tiffany! Probably a juice bottle of some sort, 1952 or 1962, doesn't strike me as being from 1942. It looks like you've done quite enough research already!

Here's a can of worms for you: https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/OwensIllinois2015.pdf

Go ahead and paint this one,
