Looks like a beer bottle to me made before WWI. Wash it up and keep it in the sun and it will likely continue to darken in color. Cool find.
 

Thanks. I found a bunch of stuff around there. Should be more keepers. Gonna hit it tomorrow and post.

:)
 

Not a beer bottle with that lip, most likely a whiskey, 1890-1920
 

What you have is a unembossed whiskey fifth. Probably made about 1900 to 1915.
 

Now known as Purple Drank.

A better ID on the bottle. Not a beer - it is a whiskey.
