Well it looks like something else to me. I worked for 15 years for Thatcher glass and Doctor Thatcher patented the original milk bottle. Thatcher glass also patented and made the first cream top milk bottle. I have one of those original bottles. My first bottle was a milk bottle and my grandfather even took me to the Elmira Thatcher factory, to watch them make milk bottles on an ole HMB machine when I was nine years old. Thirty some years late, I went to work for them as an applications engineer, and I worked there for 15 years, in their Central Mold Division. Your bottle looks like a Citrate of Magnesia bottle to me. I have one with that identity embossed on the bottle. RED Matthews

Good Question?
it looks a lot like a milk bottle you find from the 1920s but it wood have a bale closer like a lighting stopper and a tooled mouth no neck as this bottle has.The first Patten for a milk bottle was filed in 1884 by whiteman bros. But it was thatcher who really put out the first mast produced bottle .

I just got one similar to yours a few days ago. I think it was for sour cream, because it had a recessed top cap recess for a paper cap. I have an Italian milk bottle repro of the Dr. Thatcher Milk bottle, I also have an original Thatcher Cream Top Patented Thatcher milk bottle. I also have a wire held ,etal cap milk bottle, that I can not find any book coverage for.l If I can get my camera working I hope to take some pictures to cover the dozen dairy container type bottles I have.
