Hello there, I am new to this site and I hope that I am doing this correctly. I used to dig up old outhouses with my grandfather and this is one of the things we dug up in PA. I had did some looking online and I believe it is a liquor bottle of some sorts and maybe from the Glenshaw bottle company. It is a neat shape and easy to handle. Marked on bottom with a raised number 1625 and 19 G in a square then the number 45 (1945?). The side says Federal law prohibits the sale or reuse of on one side and 4 / 5 on the other.... anyone have a clue? Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

It's a neat shaped bottle. I can't say I've seen that shape before. With the screw on lid, I'd say it isn't very old. JMO. Good luck.

Not an old bottle, made after prohibition, But I can tell you what it held. It was a Creme de menth bottle I found one from the 1890's under a bar in Wyoming,with the label & contents,same exact shape,and a cork stopper.
