possibly be a medicine or a food bottle guarantee there's more of them in that driveway may have ran across the privy or a cistern or a trash pit if the driveway is not done dig a probe hole in the area where you found that bottle and can possibly B more of them. the bottle seems to look like it's non machine which means it can possibly be in 1890s

Looks like a shoe polish bottle perhaps.

Basic late 1800's BIM(blown in mold) bottle. Most likely a medicine bottle. Nice clean and attractive specimen. I'm no expert on insulators, but the era should not be too far off from the bottle. Really cool and interesting finds just digging a driveway, I normally need to visit an antique shop or go on eBay to find decent 19th century bottles.
