Hey Rhona, this was probably a cottage cheese jar or possibly some other dairy product like sour cream. If you look on the bottom of the bottom of the jar or maybe close to the bottom you might see a number like 43. This stands for the year 1943. I couldn't find one on ebay who knows might be pretty decent.

Oops, I really meant bottom of the bottle not bottom of the bottom. [
