    I was putting this in the yard sale box but the wear on the base made me curious. It looks like it has some age. It is very thick around the base. There is a yellow tinge to the glass but it does not glow under a black light. I see a scar on the base. No striation marks. It does not look like it was made for a ground stopper. Is it vintage or antique, EAPG or..? Thank you.

    Thank you for the link. I forgot to include the measurements. 9" tall an 3 1/2" wide at the base. It weights 20 ounces

    Could also be an old vinegar bottle

    I meant how many ounces does it hold.
    But that doesn't matter now, as you say the base is only 3 1/2 inches. I would guess a condiment bottle of some kind.

    Adding:
    On second thought the shape might be more of a barber bottle shape with that wide base.

    Sorry, I don't seem to be helping much.

    I have found several now under barber/hair tonic bottles and the sellers state the dates anywhere from the 1920s to the 1950s.
