Default Unusal bottle, help needed.. Thanks..
Was wondering if anyone has any idea what this bottle is..
It's 6 3/8 X 2 3/8, the neck is 1 5/16... It's an irregularly shaped octagon.. I found it along with these Pre and Post CW items..So not sure it being a surface find if it's CW circa..
Although there were other surface items that were of the era..Thanks..

That was my thinking..
After a little research I found that mark on the bottom dates between 1930-1959..

looks like a small med bottle. is that one of the Owens Illinois marks on the bottom? looks like an aspirin bottle similar to the ones that Bayer used.

It may have held horseradish at one time.

Default Another opinion
It looks a lot like a Olive Jar from the 1920's or 30's.
