Shoe Polish Bottle?

Hello. I found this at a 1940's era house. Seems like these were for shoe polish? Thanks for an ID. C9

That Anchor - Hocking symbol in the center was used from 1937 to 1976. The '3' on the left is the A-H plant number for Winchester. L-875 is the mold number for the bottle.

Good call with the embossing the base...to me, just by the shape looks like a Wyeth bottle has similar characteristics but clearly different.
