What kind of large bottle is this?

Hey USA,

It doesn't look too large to me, though you didn't mention it's capacity, or dimensions. What I see is a machine made, screw cap, bottle with features that look back to earlier techniques of bottle making. The swirled shoulder, coupled with the simulated mug base, is an odd morphological paring, bottle wise.

I cannot decipher the mark on the bottom. This is not one that would appeal to bottle collectors of the present day.

Here's what I'm speaking of, as far as earlier bottle making styles & features:

Take a UV light and shine on it in the dark. Does it glow?

I'll guess a wine bottle from the 20's.
