I wondered the same thing about the cap. I think the bottle is maybe 1930's. It has the exact same neck/lip as a soda bottle. I wonder if it had a cork lined bottlecap. The bottle isn't threaded. Either way, I really like it and paid a buck for it.

Welcome Paul, Is there any markings on the base? I found several of these in the 30s dump. Couldn't quite place them in a specific category. The label sure helps on this one. Goes in the household products group. Thanks.

That is very cool. Alot of those warrented quart flasks were used for ammonia and bleach too. Buffalo Brand bleach used them almost exclusively as well as Cherry Brand ammonia.

Buster,
This is a pic of a rubbing I made of the bottom of the bottle. Way easier to take a rubbing than trying to get the light right to get a pic of the embossing. It's an "R" in a triangle, some sort of "X" and then "C," "84," and, "0." I'm just not up on my 20th century bottle markings enough to know what any of that means. No other markings on the glass.

R in a triangle........Reed Glass Company, Rochester, NY (1927-1956). See Reed.
Reed...................F.E.Reed Glass Company (or Reed Glass Company), Rochester, NY (c.1899-1956). See Rochester Glass Works
[*]Rochester Glass Wks.............Rochester Glass Works, Rochester, NY. (1862-1908). Alice Creswick in The Fruit Jar Works (1995:273) shows this chronology for the Rochester Glass Works and succeeding firms, evidently from city directory listings researched by either herself or Dick Roller: Rochester Glass Works (1862-1881); Kelley & Co. (1882-1885); Kelley, Reed & Co. (1886-1887); Eugene Reed & Co. (1888-1889); E. P. Reed & Co. (1890-1894); Rochester Glass Works (1895-1898); F. E. Reed Glass Company/Works (1899-1900); Rochester Glass Works (1901-1908); F. E. Reed & Co. (or F.E.Reed Glass Co.) (1909-1927); Reed Glass Co. (1927-1946); and Reed Glass Co., Inc. (1947-1956). Several marks were used at various times by this factory, and the exact period of time during which each mark was used is not completely certain at this time. Known marks include "Reed", "F.E.R.", "F.E.R.G.Co." "R in a triangle", and "Rochester Glass Wks". Some bottles are known with the marking "Rochester NY Glass Works" embossed in a circle on the base. The full factory name could conceivably have been embossed on bottles dating from anytime within the 1862-1908 timeframe.
