Looks like a crown-top sauce. I always liked early crown-tops. And it looks very clean. The panels are grand. The life of the man responsible for that bottle was interesting.

I'm going to guess that it originally held a food type product, Catsup / Ketchup, Vinegar, Salad Dressing, etc. Should be easy to find some history on the company with some sleuthing. They had offices in Los Angeles & at 214 California St. San Francisco as early as 1889 with records of the company going back to 1860. Check out Betty Zumwalt's book on food products. Jim P.S. I'm working on a trade with you for those 2 flasks.
