Can anyone identify this bottle? It measures 5-3/4 x2-5/8 x 1-3/4 and has a purplish hint to it, has an indented bottom and it looks like it had a label on the backside, I'm thinking it was some kinda flask you put in your pocket and has a barrel shape to it. As always, thanks for all the info!

PP Bottle cobalt blue

Sorry, I just realized what you meant by "peened out of the mold" you mean it was tapped out of the steel mold and those are like tap marks or something right to force it out, so they dont really say anything? Sorry, just trying to understand what you mean, thanks for info!
