Hello rock,

It's not a soda. It is, what the bottle guys call, a shoo-fly flask. Most likely held a spiritous beverage, though it might have held any number of things.


It was made in Pittsburgh by the Dominic O. Cunningham Glass Co.

"D.O.C……………..D.(Dominick) O. Cunningham Glass Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (c.1882-1931). A prolific producer of soda bottles, especially hutches. The mark seems to be seen primarily on handmade bottles manufactured (generally speaking) before about 1910."
