    Can anyone identify?

    Hello antique bottle members. Is it possible anyone could identify this old bottle? The bottom is stamped 1, 3, 4 and 8, spread out a bit. It obviously came with a screw top lid but I happened to have some corks that fit nicely so I'll display as-is! Was hoping to find out what it's original...
