The symbol of the diamond with the circle around it on the bottom is the logo of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company and dates your bottle between 1930 to about 1955. After 1955 that logo was no longer used by the company and didn't exist before 1930. The number 5 on the right of the diamond is the...

Here's a picture of all the day's...
A few pre-prohibition beer bottles, a couple of inks, a couple of warranted whiskey flasks, a small Carbona bottle, a Horn and Hardart cup fragment, and a silver plated brass teaspoon.

Found a nice tooled pumpkin seed flask and a old perfume...
An 1880's-90's Hutchinson bottle along with a 1900's-1910's amber toolder-blob beer, an early 1920's cobalt Milk of Magnesia bottle - along with about $7 in clad coins, a 1920 French Third Republic 10 Centimes, a brown stoneware jug fragment, and a small piece of a salt-glazed ginger beer bottle.
