Description

This is a bottle I found at a thrift store, and knew it was old but didn't know how old.  I've investigated to the best of my ability, but some things conflict with what I see and I'm hoping an expert on the subject can clearify some answers.  Age, use of bottle, and value.  Thank you for sharing!

There are no embossed marks on the bottle, but there is a long cigar shaped ouline in the front and back of the bottle, shown in the last two pictures...I couldn't get the whole cigar shaped outline because it was hard to capture in the pics, but I got the top and the bottom of the shape outline in the last two pics.  There are mold lines on the sides, and the shoulder of the bottle.  there is also a slight mold like line around the bottom edge in a circle.  There are a couple of large bubbles also shown in the pics...thank you for any and all info you can shed on this bottle.
