Amber bottle with odd finger holds

[717digger]

In my 10+ years of digging/metal detecting, I have never been able to not source a find. I found this bottle as is with the pump spray attached. The odd part of the bottle is the two "finger holds" on the side (my terminology - sorry).

Has anyone ever seen a mold of this sort? I know it's a modern bottle by the area I was in, but I'm still perplexed by the design.
Thanks for any help! Karen

Karen: this is the first time I see this.
I guess the pump spray was added to an old bottle in order to give it s new use.
The holds might be been designed for steady the closure with a type of metal piece.

That's an odd one. My best guess is that it had a wire handle which was somehow fitted onto those protruding bits, although usually those were held on by glass loops.

That's what I was thinking after post my answer. It might had a handle.
Now tell me Karen what are the measurements?

Looks to me someone just took and drilled a body lotion pump into an old Clorox bottle. Some redneck ingenuity

Looks like late 70's -80's plastic pump parts, most likely not underground long, if at all

Could be an ammonia bottle. Ammonia was a very popular and cheap cleaning agent in sixties, especially in toilets and showers. I wonder if that's what it can be, it's the only guess I have.

I think that also.

If you post an image of the base we'll have a better idea about the year. Al
