Hi Rrey, I'm not positive, but that looks like a Chianti wine bottle that may have one time been in a basket-type holder. Back in 1976 I worked for a while at a distributor who sold wine in bottles like that. Some were nearly 4' tall; the wine was imported and very cheap, like $3.99 a bottle. Some of the bottles fetch $20+ these days if there still in the holder.

Harry, you get the prize! A local antique dealer agrees. The bottle is only 6 3/4 inches long, irregular with lots of bubbles. The dealer dates it to 1911-1915 somehow.
Funny side note: At a recent local bottle collectors meeting, these bottles were discussed with different resons for a round bottomed bottle. The guy I was with joked that he gets a bottle like that everytime he gets Chianti.[:D] A couple weeks later, I find one.
Thanks for the input.
