What you have could be a gasoline jug, its most likely a water jug. Its Mexican made, from melted bottle glass, and probably dates from around 1920-1950. The fashion in which they melted old beer bottles and blew glass at the time was very primitive, making for what looks like old glass but really is not.

On the bottom in very faint letters are the words " Texico "
The person I bought it from said it may have been a Gasoline Jug.
But the look of it seems tp predate Texaco.
Is it "ico" or "aco"?
