Age? what is it? a soda bottle?syrup bottle? Cleveland? is that Cleveland Ohio? what is the strange top?is it rare? -that's all?lol
The writing is white and raised(embossed on bottle)
Thank you taking the time to read my post

Hi, I'd guess a syrup bottle, probably had a jigger for a top. Cleveland may refer to the Cleveland Fruit Juice Co of that city.

That's pretty cool would they have used that in soda shops?

Hi, thank you for replying..is there a specific name for that type of top? and that type of applied lettering?

It is either applied paint or enamel. These syrup bottles are fairly collectible and range from $70 - 300. I know this is a broad range, but some are more desirable. The average price I have seen is around $100 - 120. Definitely a nice pick up. I have hunted antique malls and sales for 25 years and have yet to see one. RC

Well that was going to be my next question. Thank you truedigr for the information. I bought this at an estate sale the second day..hard to believe no one picked it up the price was right.

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, but can't tell you if it is from here or not. Cowseatmaize might be correct regarding the Cleveland Fruit Juice Co. Here's a stoneware jug label.
